Munster pair face fitness tests ahead of Leinster cruncher

MUNSTER second row Mick O’Driscoll and utility back Ian Dowling face fitness tests today before coach Declan Kidney selects his squad for the Celtic League game against Leinster at Musgrave Park on Sunday.

Both players were injured in the game with Connacht last week but are expected to be available for selection.

The game is expected to attract one of the biggest crowds to an Irish derby, and with the Heineken Cup around the corner, both sides look certain to field their strongest line-ups.
