O'Connell back in Munster squad

Ireland's Paul O'Connell has been included in the Munster squad for the first time since September for Tuesday's Celtic League assignment against Connacht at Thomond Park.

Coach Declan Kidney will delay naming his team until the day of the game due to the ten players that are away with the Irish training squad.
