Following Ronan O’Gara into Munster’s famous number 10 jersey is often seen as an onerous task for young fly-halves but Ben Healy will start against Cardiff Blues tonight happy to embrace the Ireland legend as his role model.

Healy, 21, will start for the second game in succession at Thomond Park when he partners fellow young gun Craig Casey in the Munster half-backs as two unbeaten sides meet in a Guinness PRO14 Conference B clash that is the first of the league’s Monday night fixtures.
