Horgan still a Munster doubt

ANTHONY HORGAN, who had to withdraw from last Sunday’s game at the Arms Park at the 11th hour because of an Achilles problem, remains Munster’s only serious injury worry prior to Saturday’s return Heineken Cup clash with Cardiff Blues at Thomond Park.

Horgan was unable to train with the rest of the squad at the University of Limerick yesterday, with coach Declan Kidney stressing the experienced winger would have to take a full part in tomorrow’s session in Cork if he was to come into consideration.

However, with John Kelly showing no ill effects of the hamstring strain that kept him out of Sunday’s game and centre Barry Murphy also coming through without any reaction to his bruised shoulder, Kidney has more three-quarter options available.
