So changed times in the space of a week for Munster's most capped player (223) who'll celebrate his 34th birthday next month. He made his Munster debut in November 1998, played in three Heineken Cup finals, of course scoring that memorable try in 2006, and today will show the array of skills, in the most exalted of company, that keeps him to the forefront of the game.
