DHL Stormers are away to Scarlets on Saturday evening (5.10pm) with Munster away to Leinster in the final game of the round (7.15pm). Leinster are six points clear of Munster ahead of the game and have already secured a home quarter-final with the potential for a home semi-final and final. Munster take on Leinster at the Aviva in the final game of the weekend hoping to secure a place in the top four, which would ensure a home quarter-final in a fortnight’s time.
Hence, Leo Cullen has named an entirely new starting XV while allowing those who dissected Toulouse in last week's Champions Cup semi-final a two week run-in to ...
All in all, it has echoes of the Rainbow Cup game at the RDS last April, when Leinster’s selection meant a relatively full-strength Munster simply had to win, and duly did by 27-3. So they have more to play for and a win here could mean these two sides mightn’t be finished with each other this season just yet. For Munster, the stakes are altogether higher. Chris Cloete, Liam O’Connor, Joey Carbery and Stephen Archer during a Munster training session at UL this week. He should be okay.” Leinster also have their eyes on the bigger prize of the Champions Cup final next Saturday in Marseilles whereas for Munster this is their sole chance to end a decade without silverware.

Ballymena and Wanderers were two of the favourites to win the AIL in its inaugural 1990-91 season. So when it came to the AIL the only thing in our minds was that we wouldn’t be beaten, whatever it took.” “It was a very good side and the fellas that didn’t get in were very good as well,” he says. “If a fella was good enough they were going to pick him,” says Murray who had been ten years in the Munster ranks by then. “Before the AIL we played Ulster, Leinster and Connacht sides in friendlies,” says Smith. “The Ulster and Leinster sides came to Cork Con and to Limerick when I was there as well and they flashed around the place. The AIL was the bedrock. Burke made his debut against Edinburgh while Foley and Stephen McIvor got to show the form that had earned calls to the Ireland Development side. It was their highest ever score in 120 years of the fixture with five tries standing as testimony to their superiority. His performances, like Foley’s, would soon earn him a call to the senior Ireland squad and O’Shea remembers an out-half of rare ability. Nothing speaks louder for the quality in that dressing-room than the men who missed the storming of Donnybrook. Richard Wallace was in Moscow on business and Michael Bradley, Gabriel Fulcher, Pat O’Hara and Keith Wood were among those injured. And the cameras were pointed elsewhere again when Munster routed Connacht by 40 points in Thomond Park a month later to round off the ‘Grand Slam’. Kenny Smith was pivotal to the drought being broken.
Young locks Ryan Baird, Joe McCarthy and Thomas Ahern can push their Ireland claims in the derby clash between Leinster and Munster.
He was invited into Ireland camp to train during the Six Nations and left a big impression on the Ireland boss at the time. He only turned 21 in March, but he is already a sizeable customer. It is telling that he has been rolled out in a second-string Leinster side to take on Munster this evening. He has the speed and dynamism to thrive in the backrow. A month on duty in the most unforgiving of environments would do their development the world of good. Ryan Baird, Joe McCarthy and Thomas Ahern will be top of the former Munster and Ireland captain’s hit-list — a trio of young locks with big aspirations.

“We’ve got to scrum better. Munster coach Johann Van Graan: “What we need to do better is to perform for 80 minutes if we want to get a result on Saturday. Munster are the team with something to play for as while they are assured of a post-season berth, they could drop all the way down to sixth if results don't go their way.
