Good news on Horan caps satisfying day for O’Sullivan

MARCUS HORAN will be given the all clear when results of an x-ray in St Vincent’s Hospital are revealed to the Irish management this morning.

The Irish loose head prop was stretchered off the Lansdowne Road pitch in a neck brace in the 67th minute of yesterday’s RBS 6 Nations game against Wales, but coach Eddie O’Sullivan last night issued extremely positive news.

“Marcus got a knock on his neck and at the time he felt a crack,” said O’Sullivan.
