The trophy is all that matters to Munster as they bid to regain Rainbow Cup momentum against Cardiff Blues tonight (7:35pm).

Tommy O’Donnell, 34, will say farewell to Thomond Park with ambition still burning within as he prepares to retire at the end of the season and helping his province to a first piece of silverware in a decade is what will drive him between now and then.
