O'Gara to captain Munster

Ireland's Ronan O'Gara will take over the captaincy from the absent Anthony Foley as Munster bid to close the gap on leaders The Ospreys at Musgrave Park on Saturday evening (8.05pm).

Rugby League convert Paul Devlin will get his chance to claim a slot on the wing for the Heineken Cup after Christmas and prop Gordon McIlwham, second row Tom Bowman and flanker Alan Quinlan will be asked to fill in for the rested John Hayes, Paul O'Connell and Foley.
