O’Driscoll and O’Kelly back in Leinster squad

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL and Malcolm O’Kelly return to the Leinster fold this week for the first time since their World Cup disappointments.

The Irish captain and the record-capped lock have been named in an extended 26-man squad for Friday night’s Magners League clash against the Glasgow Warriors at Firhill.

Their international colleagues Gordon D’Arcy, Shane Horgan and Girvan Dempsey will not return until the next game against Ulster in Ravenhill on October 26 but coach Michael Cheika is happy to have begun the process of reintegrating his star players.
