Leinster get timely boost as O’Driscoll makes squad

THE good news for Leinster fans is that Brian O’Driscoll has been included in the 26-man squad to face Munster at the RDS on Saturday.

The bad news is that the Ireland captain is unlikely to have recovered from his hamstring injury in time to make the team for the top-of-the-table Magners League clash.

O’Driscoll suffered the injury during Ireland’s four-point defeat to Wales in the Six Nations tie at Croke Park over a month ago, and the prognosis at the time was that he would be fit again within three to four weeks.
