Horgan makes little bit of history with Leinster captaincy

SHANE HORGAN will make history when he becomes the first player from a junior club, Boyne, to captain Leinster for tonight’s Magners League clash with Glasgow at Firhill.

Horgan makes little bit of history with Leinster captaincy

Even though the Irish international wing/centre will have little or no involvement with the club for the foreseeable future at least — he joined the County Louth based club from Lansdowne at the start of the season — it’s still a coup to have a junior team with a current Irish international on its books.

Horgan returns to Leinster team after his involvement in Ireland’s World Cup campaign and it is also his first shot at captaining Leinster in the absence, of course, of Brian O’Driscoll, who is expected to be eased back into action next weekend.
