Date of birth - 07/09/1977
Position- Prop
Test caps - 47
Test Debut - 10th June 2000 v USA

Current Club- Munster
Strengths - A blueprint for a modern day prop, Horan works like a 4th back-row forward as demonstrated by his 5 tries in 46 games.
Weaknesses - There have been dark mutterings about his competitiveness in the tight, but he's improved greatly and becoming a far better scrummager than originally thought, especially when working with his Munster team-mates, Hayes and Flannery.
Likely headline(s) - Horan it up!
Did you know? - Marcus waited two years between his first two caps. And he described his European Cup win with Munster thus :- "The bus journey to the stadium was very special. We hit the city centre and we saw a sea of red in front of us. There were guys with their fists in the air and tears in their
eyes. Grown men crying right in front of us. It suddenly hit me what I was
about to experience, because the injury had been the only thing in my head
all week. Missing that day, when I'd been involved all season, would have
broken my heart."
