Broken wrist rules Horan out for up to six weeks

MUNSTER’S woes continued last night with the news Marcus Horan will be out of action for up to six weeks with a broken wrist.

The international loose head prop, injured in a gymnasium accident, will be unavailable for any of Munster’s Magners League games up to the end of November and will also be ruled out of Ireland’s four match autumn schedule that takes in Tests against South Africa, Samoa, New Zealand and Argentina.

It’s believed that he may make it back in time for the province’s next round of Heineken Cup games, the home and away fixtures against Magners League champions the Ospreys.
