Rugby: Horgan returns for Ireland's Six Nations Championship match

The Irish Rugby selectors make one change for Ireland's Six Nations Championship match with Wales on Saturday. Landsdowe's Shane Horgan returns after injury to the wing with Kevin Maggs dropping down to the subs bench. Jeremy Davidson has also been included in the replacements.

As the Irish squad continues their preparations, there is a doubt as to whether Wales' centre Mark Taylor will be fit for the match. Taylor sustained the injury when he was stamped on in a club match for Swansea with Neath and is to undergo a fitness test tomorrow. Coach Graham Henry is keeping Scott Gibbs on stand-by. There is also a doubt about Scott Quinnell who is carrying a shoulder injury. So far, Wales have made one change, Rhys Williams replaces Matt Cardey at full back. Henry admitted the Welsh side have had a disappointig championship thus far. The New Zealander was strong in his praise of the Irish achievements this season
