With Development player Chris Delooze and Academy member Duncan Williams sidelined through injury, O'Meara comes into the squad as cover at scrum-half.

In addition to the 33 Heineken Cup caps he has accumulated, the 30 year old has also been capped 9 times by Ireland, his last appearance as a replacement in August 2003 international against Italy.

Prior to his switch to Leinster, he won eight Heineken Cup caps for Munster, his last appearance being a winning one, in the side that defeated Neath 34-10 in Musgrave Park, September 1998.
