Irish trio bolster Munster ahead of tricky Treviso trip

Munster coach Tony McGahan has chosen what can only be construed as a team hell-bent on winning the first of four important RaboDirect Pro12 games away to Treviso today.

With the benefit of having at his disposal Ronan O’Gara, Donnacha Ryan and Peter O’Mahony, all made available by national coach Declan Kidney, McGahan didn’t have to be asked twice as to how many of them he would use. All three are in from the start.

McGahan has been a little less headstrong in relation to pushing returnees Tommy O’Donnell and Felix Jones too quickly into action. Both will, however, play a part from the bench.
