There is mounting evidence for triplet superconductivity in the
recently discovered skutterudite compound .
In this work, we propose nodal order parameters for the A and B
phases of this superconductor which are consistent with
angle-dependent magnetothermal conductivity measurements and with
low-temperature thermal conductivity data in the range 
. The quasiparticle density of states and the thermal
conductivity 
are derived within the quasiclassical
approximation.
