INTERNATIONAL NEWS ROUND-UP:SHANE HORGAN will captain the Irish A side against the full Tongan international team at Ravenhill on Friday night. With one eye on the 2011 World Cup, this is not a second-string outfit per se, although Horan is still one of a sprinkling of established Test players in the line-up.
Between them, Horgan, Peter Stringer, Andrew Trimble, Neil Best and Gavin Duffy have 207 caps to their names, while there are a further three capped players on the team in Darren Cave, Mike Ross and Donnacha Ryan.
