Kidney gives famous five well-earned rest as Munster wrap up season

MUNSTER heroes captain Anthony Foley, half backs Ronan O’Gara and Peter Stringer and second-row partners Paul O’Connell and Donncha O’Callaghan will be at Thomond Park on Saturday, but not on the pitch, as the Heineken Cup champions take on Cardiff Blues (5.30pm).

The Munster coach Declan Kidney has decided to give these heroes a well deserved rest, but the 13,000 supporters should still have plenty to enthuse about.
