Three new caps in Kidney's summer tour squad

An Ireland squad of 33 players was today announced for the 2010 summer tour to New Zealand and Australia, with Munster talisman Paul O'Connell included despite having been a major doubt with a groin injury.

The Munster lock has not played since Ireland’s final RBS 6 Nations match on March 20 and has been receiving intravenous antibiotics in a Cork hospital, but has been deemed fit enough to take his place in Declan Kidney’s squad.
