Shane Horgan On Scoring That Epic Try Against England in Croke Park


Listen Later

A moment that lamented Shane Horgan as a hero of Irish rugby was his 2007 try against England in Croke Park.
It was the first time Ireland played England in Croke Park and an emotional day for all.
Ronan O'Gara's pinpoint kick saw Horgan use his GAA skills to reach high and catch to slam the ball over the try line, a turning point in the game that secured a historic day in sport.
Shane joined Alison on Weekend Breakfast and chatted about this moment and how it felt.
He also shared his predictions for this year's Guinness Six Nations, how the squad can shake off the World Cup and his hopes for new coach Andy Farrell.
Performance Nutritionist for the IRFU Marcus Shortall also joined in to chat about how the players fuel their bodies for best performance and all the carbs they get to eat on match days.
Shane Horgan is an ambassador for Glenisk, the official yogurt of Irish Rugby.
Glenisk have an open one-day pop-up restaurant on Monday February 3rd in ‘Tang’ on Dawson Street with all proceeds from the day being donated to Peter McVerry Trust.
Glenisk have developed a menu of 15 ‘scrum’-ptious high-protein dishes using the Glenisk range in collaboration with the IRFU Performance Nutrition team.
With dishes like Protein Pancakes, slow-cooked Marinated Irish Beef and Vegetarian Falafel, we're drooling already!
