Munster looking to bounce back from defeat against Connacht to keep themselves in with a shout of the Rainbow Cup final

Munster have gone for a an experienced starting 15 with a relatively young bench

Cardiff themselves are still in the running and have picked a reasonably strong team

Halaholo has often caused trouble against Munster so Scannell and DDA will have to be on the ball.

Turnbull and Botham in the Blues backrow can cause havoc at breakdown time

Final game at Thomond Park for Cronin, Stander and O'Donnell
