Brian O’Driscoll has been added to Leinster’s squad to face Munster ahead of Saturday’s inter-provincial derby.

O’Driscoll missed the 21-19 victory over Edinburgh last weekend with a pinched nerve injury in his neck, however he is in line to return and is one of 13 Ireland internationals named in the provisional squad for the Magners League clash.

Luke Fitzgerald, Jamie Heaslip and Rob Kearney – who featured all featured for the Lions in the summer tour to South Africa – all made their first starts of the season against Edinburgh.

And the trio are joined in the squad again by the likes of Nathan Hines, Isa Nacewa and Stan Wright.
