Horan: drive for selection will underpin Munster effort

COMPETITION for places will be the lifeblood of Munster’s challenge for Magners League and Heineken Cup honours this season, believes Marcus Horan.

At 33, the Irish international prop may be in the autumn of his career, but rather than preparing to throw in the towel, he is relishing the selection battles ahead.

Horan would be first to admit it has been a tough 12 months during which his career was threatened by serious illness.
