O’Kelly and Horgan notch up 50 caps for Leinster

MALCOLM O’KELLY may have to share a rugby ball with Shane Horgan when they run out to face Connacht in the Celtic League at Donnybrook tomorrow evening (7.35pm).

Both players will be winning their 50th caps for the province, and yesterday neither was initially aware that the milestone was looming.

“The 50th? That’s a bit away,” O’Kelly declared, believing the reference was to the number of Irish caps (41) he has won.
