Tommy O’Donnell: Scarlets can provide Toulon blueprint for Munster

Tommy O’Donnell has many reasons to relish the PRO14 clash with Scarlets at Thomond Park on Saturday afternoon.

First and foremost is the chance to bounce back from last Friday’s defeat away to Edinburgh in the league. But that only tells half the story of the importance of this clash.

There is also the matter of Munster’s upcoming Champions Cup quarter-final with Toulon, a side Scarlets know all too well from two epic battles in the pool stages.
