Omahony could feature for munster

Squad captain Peter O'Mahony could make a surprise return for Munster in the province’s Guinness Pro12 encounter with Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday – kick off is at 6.30pm.

 

O’Mahony has not featured for Munster since the Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Toulouse in April, having successfully rehabbed from a double shoulder procedure. Munster coach Anthony Foley has made eight changes to the starting XV that lost to the Ospreys last weekend.

Munster: Felix Jones (capt), Andrew Conway, Andrew Smith, Denis Hurley, Simon Zebo; Ian Keatley, Conor Murray; James Cronin, Duncan Casey, Stephen Archer; Dave Foley, Paul O'Connell; CJ Stander, Tommy O'Donnell, Robin Copeland. Replacements: Damien Varley, Dave Kilcoyne, BJ Botha, Billy Holland, Peter O'Mahony, Duncan Williams, JJ Hanrahan, Gerhard van den Heever.
