O’Callaghan drafted into Irish squad for trip to Siberia

DONNACHA O’CALLAGHAN has been drafted into the Irish panel for the trip to Siberia on Thursday following the withdrawal of Victor Costello yesterday.

O'Callaghan, the Cork Constitution and Munster forward, trained with the Irish squad at their summer camp in Poland.

The development means that table-topping Munster coach Alan Gaffney will have to plan without O'Callaghan for Friday's Celtic League clash with Swansea at Musgrave Park.
