Horan bids to prop up Shannon

Shannon’s survival hopes have been boosted for today’s must-win clash with Young Munster at Clifford Park with news that Munster and Ireland prop Marcus Horan is available.

Horan, surprisingly excluded from the Munster squad for tonight’s clash with Leinster at Thomond Park a day after announcing his planned retirement from the game, will instead take to the field for his beloved Shannon as they bid to keep their place in the top flight of Irish club rugby after the most difficult season in their history.

Shannon had a disastrous start to the campaign but have steadily improved and travel across the city toClifford Park to face a side who haven’t enjoyed much success of late.
