Munster big guns ready for winter Blues
Hopefully, O’Connell’s injury woes are behind him, and he is named in a 29-man squad that prepared this week for a game that has attracted huge attention, with advance sales of close to 20,000. But the big second row is just one of a number of players queuing up to reestablish themselves in a side that has done pretty well since the start of November, with victories over Ulster, Llanelli Scarlets and Australia being the highlights.
Denis Leamy is back from international duty alongside the likes of Tony Buckley, John Hayes, Mick O’Driscoll, Donncha O’Callaghan, David Wallace, Peter Stringer, Ronan O’Gara and Keith Earls, and he is looking forward to having to fight for a place in the team.
