O'Connell ready for Racing test

Having shown no ill effects from a full training session yesterday, Paul O'Connell has been named in Munster's starting XV for their opening Heineken Cup game against Racing Metro on Saturday in the Stade de France (1.35pm).
O'Connell will pack down alongside Billy Holland, who is named in place of the injured Donncha O'Callaghan (hamstring), for the first time since the League game against Ulster back in early May.
