O’Connell set for Munster recall

PAUL O’CONNELL is hoping for game time in Munster’s crucial Magners League game away to Edinburgh (Murrayfield, 7.30pm).

O’Connell has been dogged by a back injury for the past three months but following a run out with the province’s A side last Friday, both player and medical staff are satisfied the worst is behind the skipper.

Said O’Connell: “I feel good. I’m back into the swing of things after a frustrating time. It’s never easy having to watch from the sideline and seeing things unfold that you have no control over.
