Happy ending to Horgan’s nightmare

THE nightmare began two days before the Heineken European Cup final in Cardiff last May.

The Munster's team's preparation for their ill-fated clash with Leicester was coming to the end and the players were indulging in their usual carefree backs versus forwards tip rugby game. The red hair of Anthony Horgan was prominent and, along with the other backs, he revelled in putting one over on the so-called 'donkeys'.

At least, that's his story. Little did he realise, however, disaster lay in wait.
