O'Mahony returns for Munster in clash with All Blacks XV

Peter O'Mahony will return from a hamstring injury to start for Munster against an All Blacks XV at Thomond Park on Saturday. Diarmuid Barron will captain the team in their first match since head coach Graham Rowntree's departure. Interim coach Ian Costello has made eight changes from the team that lost 41-24 to the Sharks. O'Mahony's return is significant as he missed the last three games, and he will be joined by Gavin Coombes in the back row. New players include Ethan Coughlan and Billy Burns as the half-back combination, while Diarmuid Kilgallen will make his Munster debut. Paddy Patterson is also on the bench, returning from a long-term knee injury.
