Peter O'Mahony won't feature for Munster against Treviso on Saturday after being put on stand-by for Ireland's clash with Australia at the Aviva Stadium.

O’Mahony was pictured training with his provincial team mates earlier this week, but has not been named in Rassie Erasmus’s party for Pro 12 fixture at Thomond Park after fitness concerns over Sean O’Brien emerged on Friday.

Munster have however been boosted by the return of a number of internationals - with Dave Kilcoyne, John Ryan, Jack O'Donoghue and Billy Holland all named in the squad.

Tommy O’Donnell captaisn a side which has seven changes from the one which beat the Maori All Blacks.
