Weekend Interpro Action

There’s a feast of Munster action this weekend as three Munster representative teams take to the field in their respective Interprovincial competitions. On Saturday, the Munster Women and Munster U20’s are in action, with the U19’s playing on Sunday. All three games take place in Cork

The Munster Women’s team are up first- playing Leinster at Fermoy RFC on Saturday at 2.30pm, while the Munster U20’s will aim to build on their 18-10 away win over Connacht last weekend when they host Leinster at Musgrave Park at 3pm. On Sunday, the Munster U19’s take on Leinster at the same venue following on from a 36-0 victory over Connacht last weekend.
