Munster v Leinster</div>
Well it's the biggest game in Irish club rugby with these 2 sides going up against each other at Croke Park on Saturday in what could be a world record crowd for a club game.
Munster go in as overwhelming favourites having come through yet another pool of death despatching both Clermont and Wasps while their quarter final mismatch with the Ospreys went a long way to confirming their favouritism to repeat their win of last year.
Leinster have stuttered their way through to this stage having been impressive in the home win against Wasps and putting up an awesome defensive performance at the Stoop yet having not scored a try in the last 3 Heineken Cup matches it's hard to see them getting close to Munster on Saturday.
The task won't be helped by the loss of Rob Kearney who's out with the mumps, if only UCD's health warning had reached him earlier! However Munster have lost O'Leary but even still Stringer will be streets ahead of Whitaker in the battle of the nines. Unfortunately for Leinster Reddan has arrived a season too late.
Good to see this one getting international interest with France Televisions bizarrely going for the Cardiff Blues Leicester match instead.
Nothing more than a comfortable Munster win would be a huge shock.
