Munster v Aironi:Tony McGahan has included all but one of his returning Irish internationals in Munster's starting line-up for tomorrow night's Pro 12 meeting with Aironi at Musgrave Park.

Paul O’Connell will lead a side featuring Keith Earls, Conor Murray, Ronan O'Gara, Donnacha Ryan, Paul O'Connell and Denis Leamy while Donncha O’Callaghan is named among the replacements.

Having lost their last two Pro 12 outings, McGahan is eager to reintegrate his frontliners as quickly as possible ahead of a massive fortnight for the province. Munster face Leinster at Lansdowne Road next Friday before opening their Heineken Cup campaign against Northampton the following weekend.

"I think you'll have seen South African, English and other countries players come back and play as soon as they were out of the quarter finals,” McGahan said today. “The Irish players had two weeks rest.

“We're already at least a week and a bit behind so we need to look at all the possibilities and people who are going to be best for us short term and long term in this four week block that we have."

Six of the Italian side involved in the Pool C defeat to Ireland at the World Cup could feature for Aironi in Cork with Andrea Masi,

Fabio Ongaro, Marco Bortolami and Luciano Orquera named in their side while Salvatore Peruginim and Quintin Geldenhuys are on the bench.
