Shane Horgan

Shane Patrick Horgan (born 18 July 1978) is an Irish former rugby union player who played wing or centre for Leinster and Ireland.

He was a member of a Leinster backline which included Brian O'Driscoll, Gordon D'Arcy, Denis Hickie, Felipe Contepomi, Isa Nacewa, Rob Kearney and Johnny Sexton.

Horgan added to his following in 2007 when he scored a try against England in Croke Park by executing a Gaelic football style catch from a Ronan O'Gara crossfield kick.

[citation needed] Horgan showed a return to something near the levels of performance of his earlier career in early 2011[2] but injury towards the end of the club season forced him to miss out on the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

[citation needed] As of 2016, he was working as a trainee solicitor at Lee & Thompson[7] in London, while appearing on RTÉ Sport as an analyst in their rugby coverage.
