Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony is an injury doubt for the start of next month’s Autumn Nations Series after Munster boss Graham Rowntree said he expected the veteran flanker to return from a hamstring injury during November.

O’Mahony, 35, injured his hamstring in his first game back in Munster colours last Saturday against Ospreys and was on Tuesday declared unavailable for this Saturday’s URC derby against Leinster at Croke Park.
