The southern province’s captain had been given a 50% chance of playing as a result of the rib injury he sustained in last weekend’s win over Gloucester.
However, O’Mahony has received the nod to start in the back row of a Munster side that includes just one change from the successful outing at Kingsholm.
That amendment comes in the front row, with John Ryan taking the place of Stephen Archer at tighthead prop.
Ahead of the final round of Heineken Champions Cup fixtures, Munster have a four-point lead over Exeter at the top of Pool 4.
