Investec Champions Cup: Peter O’Mahony returns for Munster against Northampton

by

Ireland flanker Peter O’Mahony has returned to the starting team for Munster for their final Investec Champions Cup pool game against Northampton on Saturday.

The 35-year-old has been out since mid-December with a calf injury and is one of three changes made from the side that beat Saracens 17-12 last weekend.

Wing Diarmuid Kilgallen will make his competitive debut after recovering from a wrist injury.

He replaces Shane Daly, who is following return to play protocols after failing a head injury assessment in the victory against Saracens.

Diarmuid Barron comes in for Niall Scannell and Jack O’Donoghue makes way for O’Mahony.

Munster are second in Pool 3 and victory over Northampton would secure their place in the knock-out stages and a home last-16 tie.

Munster: M Haley; C Nash, T Farrell, R Scannell, D Kilgallen; J Crowley, C Murray; D Bleuler, D Barron, O Jager; F Wycherley, T Beirne (capt); P O’Mahony, A Kendellen, G Coombes.

Replacements: N Scannell, J Ryan, S Archer, T Ahern, J O’Donoghue, P Patterson, B Burns, B Gleeson.
