Kidney hoping his returning Lions can savage Scarlets

MUNSTER have received a welcome boost for tomorrow night as Lions Paul O'Connell, John Hayes, Ronan O'Gara and Donncha O'Callaghan all start for the Celtic League clash against Llanelli Scarlets at Musgrave Park (7.10pm).

After the Lions tour to New Zealand, O'Connell and Hayes have their first competitive outing which should have been at Thomond Park, but vandals put paid to that.

O'Gara and O'Callaghan saw some game time against Glasgow, but both will hope for a better outcome after the Warriors scorched home 32-10 last weekend.
