O'Gara back for Munster
Munster coach Alan Gaffney had an almost injury free squad to select from for Saturday’s Celtic League clash with provincial rivals Leinster.
John Kelly has not yet recovered fully from a bruised ankle and was not considered.
David Wallace has missed out, with Denis Leamy taking the number seven shirt alongside Alan Quinlan and captain Anthony Foley, with Jim Williams on the bench.
The rest of the team features no great surprises, with Mike Mullins partnering Rob Henderson in the centre, Shaun Payne lining out on the wing opposite Anthony Horgan, and Jerry Flannery replacing James Blaney as the substitute hooker.
Munster are currently one point behind league leaders the Ospreys, while Leinster trail their southern counterparts by six points in third place.
