Munster homecoming rolls on in Thomond

Munster's euphoric homecoming will be completed against Cardiff at Thomond Park on Saturday without Anthony Foley, Paul O'Connell, Donncha O'Callaghan, Ronan O'Gara and Peter Stringer.

Coach Declan Kidney has named a 23-man squad for the Celtic League game, with Paul Burke, Mick Prendergast, Eugene McGrovan, Trevor Hogan, Stephen Keogh and John O'Sullivan all likely to get some game time.
