Shane Horgan (born 18 July, 1978 in Bellewstown near Drogheda), County Louth is a rugby union player who plays wing or centre for Leinster and Ireland.
He made his debut in 2000 against Scotland.
He was selected for the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand. He was used as a substitute during the tests and was never given the chance his form deserved. He failed to make any real impact during the 2005 November internationals. He is 6'4", tall for a winger, and imposing for any opposing wingers, usually under 6 foot.
After scoring the winning try against England in Twickenham to secure the Triple Crown for the second time in three years, he became a new national hero.
