O'Connell could yet make Munster's season run-in

Ireland man had some good news after scans in Dublin yesterday.

MUNSTER TALISMAN Paul O’Connell could yet play some part in the remainder of Munster’s season following further tests on his injured ankle.

Thomond Park officials confirmed that the second row had his injury reassessed in Dublin yesterday evening. Experts told him to expect to return in four weeks’ time.

That of course would mean that if Munster were to progress to the final of either Amlin Challenge Cup or Magners League, O’Connell could be involved.

The Ireland lock suffered ligament damage during the the second-half of the Reds’ Magners League win over Leinster in Limerick, having landed awkwardly after jumping for a line-out.
