O'Connell not named in Munster squad

Paul O’Connell is not included in the Munster squad to play The Ospreys in Saturday's Magner’s League tie at Thomond Park (kick-off 6.30pm).

Captain O'Connell and Keith Earls, who have both been nursing groin problems, and wingers Ian Dowling (knee) and Doug Howlett (hamstring) are all out of the pitcrue for the moment.
