This should be a mouth watering game as Munster have been flying high only losing one game to Ulster with a weakened side and Leinster have been their usually brilliance with only one loss to the men from the west in Connaught last week.
Munster have seen a new group of young players to come through and add a real backbone and fresh look to the Munster squad. Leinster also keep firing out young players from the academy. So expect fireworks when these two meet at the Limerick stadium Saturday week!
