Munster reject Osprey claims of Horan racist slur

MUNSTER last night refuted allegations that prop Marcus Horan racially abused a Neath/Swansea Ospreys player at the Gnoll last weekend.

The Munster Branch are to launch a stout defence of Horan, who is accused of using racist language towards Samoa centre Elvis Seveali’i in the Heineken Cup Pool Four encounter.

The Welsh side also claim Horan punched Seveali’i after the Ospreys player was penalised for a head-high tackle on colleague John Kelly, and that he lashed out with his boot on Richard Mustoe.
