O'Mahony leads international contingent bolstering Munster for Edinburgh clash

The southern province meet Richard Cockerill’s side in Cork tomorrow.

MUNSTER HEAD COACH Johann van Graan has been able to recall most of his Ireland internationals for tomorrow’s meeting with Edinburgh in Cork (kick-off 19.35, eir Sport).

Man of the match in the win over New Zealand, Peter O’Mahony returns to captain his province and there are 10 further changes after the 7-32 win over Zebre.

Conor Murray and Chris Farrell are fit to start after making their comeback from injury in Parma. Both will start their first match of this season while Andrew Conway comes back fresh from his hat-trick against the USA.

With newly-capped international Sam Arnold among the replacements, Joey Carbery and CJ Stander represent notable omissions so soon after their November exertions. Carbery played a role in all four Tests this month while Stander ran as 24th man during Ireland’s warm-up before the win over the Eagles.
