Munster Women and Youths in Action at the Weekend

Munster face Ulster in the third round of the womens Interprovincial series at Nenagh RFC on Saturday. While Munster Youths open their Inter Provincial Championship campaign away to Connacht in Galway

Munster face Ulster in the third round of the women’s Interprovincial series at Nenagh RFC on Saturday.

Munster, sponsored this season by O2, are title favourites having already overcome Connacht and Leinster and Ulster having shown some poor form throughout their first two games.

They are already assured a final berth and will most likely to be joined by Leinster who face Connacht at Newbridge RFC. However games between Munster and Ulster are traditionally tough and with the Northerners having nothing to lose expect a better showing from the visitors than their last outing at Ravenhill where they dismally struggled to put Connacht away.

Kickoff at Nenagh RFC is at 2.30pm.
