MUNSTER RUGBY captain Peter O’Mahony will return from Ireland duty to lead Munster versus Glasgow tomorrow night in Scotland.
Six changes have been made for tomorrow night’s away trip with Tommy O’Donnell in line to make his 100th Guinness PRO12 appearance.
Tipperary native and product of the Greencore Munster Academy, O’Donnell, made his Championship debut off the bench against Scarlets in September 2007.
Four personnel changes are seen in the pack. Niall Scannell returns at hooker, Jean Kleyn and Billy Holland start in the second row and O’Mahony comes back in at 6. The Munster captain’s return sees Jack O’Donoghue make the positional switch to number 8.
The final two personnel changes are made in the half backs and midfield with Ian Keatley and Rory Scannell starting at out half and inside centre respectively. Consequently Jaco Taute reverts to outside centre.
Named among the replacements, Donnacha Ryan is another to make a return from international action while scrum half Te Aihe Toma could make his competitive debut for the province.
