A further cap followed against New Zealand in June, as well as caps from the 2006 Autumn Interationals - where he sustained a further injury to his calf muscle. He is the first choice loose head prop of Eddie O Sullivan in the 2007 Six Nations Championship.
To date Horan has scored 6 tries for Ireland, most recently against Scotland in the RBS Six Nations 2008. He was a member of the victorious Ireland team that won the 2009 Six Nations Championship and Grand Slam [1]

Horan was part of the winning team which saw Munster crowned Europeans champions in 2006. Horan managed to recover from a calf injury which he picked up in training six weeks prior to the final to play a role in the Heineken Cup Final against Biarritz. Munster defeated Biarritz 23 - 19.
Horan also played an integral part in Munster's Heineken Cup Victory in the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on May 24th when Munster were crowned European Champions for the second time. Munster defeated Toulouse 16 - 13.
