RUGBY:PAUL O'CONNELL could yet play a part in the conclusion to Munster's season following further tests on his injured ankle.

O’Connell had his injury reassessed in Dublin on Wednesday evening and the prognosis is that he could be back training in four weeks.

That would mean that if Munster were to progress to the final of either the Amlin Challenge Cup or Magners League, O’Connell could be involved.

Ladies Night V in aid of Action Breast Cancer takes place tomorrow in the Serpentine Hall at the RDS in conjunction with the Leinster v Ulster match.

Gates open at 6.30pm for a wide range of activities and prizes.
