Preview

Munster go into Saturday night’s clash off the back of a 51-22 victory over Benetton in Cork on Friday night as Johann van Graan’s men made it 10 home wins in a row.

Leinster travel to Thomond full of confidence having recorded a number of victories in Limerick over recent seasons but Munster did win the most recent meeting between the sides, a 27-3 victory at the RDS in the Rainbow Cup.

Leo Cullen’s side were 45-8 victors over Connacht at the Sportsground on Saturday night and top the URC table on 55 points ahead of Ulster (50) and Munster (47).

Both sides welcomed their remaining internationals back to their respective training centres this week after Ireland’s Triple Crown success.
