Munster's Derry O'Connell on the attack against Leinster in last year's Junior Interprovincial Series
The Munster Junior side have made several changes for their trip to face Leinster at Coolmine RFC this Saturday (kick-off 2.30pm).
Munster are searching for their first victory of the series, after conceding three tries to Ulster in last week’s home game at Muskerry RFC.
The game sees first starts in a Junior provincial jersey for Niall Campion in the front row and scrum half Conor Cremin who both made appearances off the bench last Saturday, while Ronan O’Brien, Luke Hogan and Ronan Crosse will all be earning their first caps.
Munster Juniors Head Coach, John Keehan, said: “The Ulster game was a huge disappointment on a number of levels. Leinster are a quality side and to beat them away from home will require us to be at our absolute best.”
