Peter O’Mahony will return from injury to captain Munster in their Rainbow Cup opener against Leinster tomorrow. Good news and yet, as is so often the case lately, it is outdone by their rivals up the road in Dublin.

Leo Cullen has named a side that reflects the more important Champions Cup semi-final trip to La Rochelle next week but Leinster have still been boosted by the return of Garry Ringrose, Caelan Doris and James Ryan – who starts off the bench - from injury.
