Munster boosted by O'Gara update

Ronan O'Gara should be fit for Munster's Heineken Cup pool games

Fly-half Ronan O'Gara is expected to be fit for Munster's final two Heineken Cup pool games as his hamstring inury is not as serious as first thought.

O'Gara is a doubt for Friday's Magners League trip to the Ospreys but should be available for the cup games against Sale and Montauban.

However, centre Rua Tipoki will miss the Heineken Cup games after injuring a hamstring against Ulster on Saturday.

Flanker James Coughlan is also out for four weeks with a shoulder injury.

Munster expect to have Paul O'Connell, Denis Leamy and Tomas O'Leary in contention for a place in the squad for the Ospreys game.
