"There's an interview that stands out for Marcus Horan from his very early days with TG4 after he crossed the rugby Rubicon from former player to pitchside interviewer."
"Horan interviewed the Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons before the game although 'interview' might be a stretch, with the South African only offering one-word answers."
Marcus Horan transitioned from playing to pitchside interviewing with TG4 after retiring from Munster. He tried selling insurance and coaching before moving into broadcasting. One early interview that stands out occurred at a Leinster v Edinburgh league game at the RDS. Horan interviewed Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons before the match, although the exchange proved terse. Solomons offered only one-word answers, which made the encounter more of a brief interaction than a detailed conversation. The episode illustrated the unpredictability of live interviews for new broadcasters.
