O’Gara and O’Callaghan return for Munster

MUNSTER will be boosted by the return of Lions Ronan O’Gara and Donncha O’Callaghan for Saturday’s Celtic League clash with Glasgow in Scotland.

Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan has released both players a week ahead of the agreed dates for those returning from the tour to New Zealand, and that has led to Declan Kidney making alterations from the squad that defeated Ospreys last weekend.

O’Gara’s return means promising youngster Jeremy Manning is excluded. O’Callaghan comes into the forwards equation along with Tony Buckley, the huge Shannon prop, with John O’Sullivan, Denis Fogarty and Stephen Keogh dropping out, in keeping with Kidney’s rotation policy.
