O’Mahony looks good to face Edinburgh

Munster are confident captain Peter O’Mahony will be fit to lead the province into the new Heineken Cup campaign on Saturday against Edinburgh at Murrayfield.

O’Mahony was withdrawn at half-time from Munster’s RaboDirect Pro12 showdown with Leinster at Thomond Park, having received a knee to the head while tackling Sean Cronin several minutes earlier.

The back-rower’s substitution was as a precaution with head coach Rob Penney stressing after the match his captain was showing no ill effects from the accidental blow.
