O’Driscoll set to face Edinburgh

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL has been included in the Leinster squad to face Edinburgh in the Magners League tie at Murrayfield on Friday but a final decision on the centre’s fitness won’t be made until tomorrow at lunchtime.

The Leinster and Ireland captain has been sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury during the Six Nations game against Wales in early March.

The initial prognosis was that O’Driscoll would be fit to return within three or four weeks but six weeks will have elapsed by the time Michael Cheika’s side line up against the Scottish side in Edinburgh.
