Tommy O’Donnell steps up as Munster focus on Treviso

Munster must plan without Peter O’Mahony for this afternoon’s Guinness PRO12 tie against Treviso at Thomond Park.

O’Mahony was released from Ireland camp earlier this week — and participated in a provincial session on Wednesday — and looked set to feature for the province this weekend.

However O’Mahony, along with Rory Scannell, were then put on standby for the national side on Thursday night following injury concerns over Sean O’Brien and Jared Payne, who sat out yesterday’s captain’s run at the Aviva ahead of their clash with Australia tomorrow.
