O’Connell set for Munster return in Edinburgh

PAUL O’CONNELL seems set to make his top-class return when appearing for Munster in the Magner’s League against Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday night.

O’Connell successfully came through strenuous tests when playing for Munster A against Ulster at Ravenhill last weekend, and is, according to a Munster spokesperson, good to go.

Further positive news for Munster is the fact that Ian Dowling will be considered for selection after recovering from a knee strain suffered against Connacht at Musgrave Park on December 27 last.
