Horgan set to fill vacant spot in Irish squad

ANTHONY HORGAN has been drafted into the Irish squad ahead of the autumn internationals against New Zealand, Australia and Romania.

Coach Eddie O’Sullivan had left a vacancy in the squad before watching all three Irish provinces play at the weekend.

Horgan, who starred in Ireland’s tour to Japan this summer, scored a try and had another disallowed as Munster romped to a Heineken Cup victory over Castres at Thomond Park. It was Horgan’s first outing in four weeks since recovering from injury.
