O'Brien back training with Leinster

Leinster back row Seán O’Brien took full a part in the province’s training session in UCD this afternoon ahead of Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 trip to face the Glasgow Warriors in Scotstoun (7.35pm).

It marked the first time the Tullow man has trained fully this season and a decision will be made on his possible involvement depending on how he comes through the team sessions during the week.

Centre Eoin O'Malley, whose next outing will be his 50th for the province, will also be monitored through training this week but Dominic Ryan and Luke Fitzgerald are unlikely to be available.

They are making good progress but this Friday is likely to come too soon for their return.

Isa Nacewa is on the mend following his recent hand injury and it is hoped that he will come into the frame either this week or next, while second row duo Quinn Roux and Tom Denton have also stepped up their rehab programmes in recent weeks.

With a number of players unavailable this weekend because of international commitments, the Leinster coaching team could be set to call on a number of players who were on 'A' team duty last week.
