O’Leary in for Munster, O’Connell on bench

Tomás O’Leary will partner Ronan O’Gara at half-back for Munster’s Heineken Cup game with the Ospreys at Thomond Parks on Sunday. (kick-off 1pm)

Paul O’Connell, who is severely short on game time, is named on the replacements with Donncha O’Callaghan and Mick O’Driscoll continuing in the second row while veteran blindside Alan Quinlan also misses out on a starting sport as James Coughlan, David Wallace and Denis Leamy take the backrow slots.
