O’Donnell back to his rampaging best for Georgia clash

AUTUMN INTERNATIONAL:

The Munster and Ireland openside flanker will take the field against Georgia on Sunday leaner, fitter and sharper than he felt he was when he lost his place in Joe Schmidt’s squad to Leinster’s Jordi Murphy midway through the 2014 Six Nations campaign.

O’Donnell, 27, is now back to his rampaging best for Munster and as a result back in the Ireland squad, making the most of a surprise promotion to the bench last Saturday against South Africa after Chris Henry withdrew from the starting XV and Rhys Ruddock moved up from the replacements to the number seven jersey.
