Hurley looks ahead as Horan bows out

Recently retired Newport Gwent Dragons and Wales hooker Steve Jones will be recognised fully by the local followers, while Munster fans get to say goodbye to the legendary Marcus Horan, who is named on the bench.

Jones hasn’t had nearly the success enjoyed by Horan — five international caps against 67 — but is very much a local hero. He was forced to announce his retirement earlier this week due to a hip injury, while Horan, disappointed with a lack of game time with Munster, decided not to pursue a contract outside the province and instead will call it a day.
