Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony all set for return to action against Zebre

Munster skipper Peter O’Mahony is set to make his long-awaited return for Munster for Saturday’s visit of Zebre to Thomond Park, director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has confirmed.

The Corkman hasn’t played since the World Cup at this time last year, and has been mooted for a return in recent weeks.

“This is the third or fourth week we have been saying ‘maybe next week’ but today’s training was checking him out to make sure he is ready,” said Erasmus.
