Peter O’Mahony Returns As Munster Side Named For Glasgow Clash

Rassie Erasmus has made six changes to his Munster side for tomorrow night’s away trip to Glasgow Warriors in round 10 of the Guinness PRO12.

Returning international Peter O’Mahony comes back in to captain the side with Tommy O’Donnell in line to make his 100th PRO12 appearance.

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.
