Red letter day for Tommy O’Donnell in crucial clash

Guinness Pro 12

It’s going to be a red letter day at Musgrave Park this afternoon for classy Munster and Irish flanker Tommy O’Donnell, who is poised to win his 100th cap for the province — all this in a week when he has been named in a group of three earmarked for the Player of the Year award.

It’s also another big day for talented young centre Rory Scannell, the Ireland U20, who is selected alongside Andrew Smith and is to win his third senior cap for the province.
