O’Leary ready for Leinster battle

TOMÁS O’LEARY is hoping to continue his comeback from injury by securing a starting place for Munster in Saturday’s eagerly-awaited Magners League clash with bitter rivals Leinster at the RDS.

O’Leary came through another test by playing a key role in Munster’s victory over Newport Gwent Dragons at Musgrave Park on Sunday, first full game since breaking an ankle back in April.

“It feels great to be back,” said O’Leary. “I’ve put the injury to the back of my mind at this stage. I’ve been going at it fairly full-on for the bones of six weeks now and it becomes less of an issue each day.”
