Not likely. Munster will have to pick themselves up for the visit to mighty La Rochelle after another devastating defeat to their faster, stronger, bigger, more talented, better educated, smartly dressed, cosmopolitan superiors.

Yeah...just about, with the rest of Munster driving down the standards set by the wonderful Cork.

And if you bother arguing then you're wrong because you don't understand because you're not from CORK!!!

The Leinster team is better around most of the pitch, but home advantage could be the difference. We'l see, but either way, should be a close one.

It'll come to who wants it more and has fire in belly

Coverage of the match will begin this Saturday at 7:25pm and the game itself will begin at 7.30pm.

Munster sit top, twelve points clear of their nearest rivals having won their last four Magners League matches since an 18-19 defeat away to Treviso in mid-February. Theyâ€™ll enter the match hoping to defend their excellent home form which has seen them win all 13 of their matches at Thomond Park in all competitions this season.

However, Leinster will remain confident that they can achieve a positive result and boost their play-off aspirations on the back of a record of eight wins from their last nine derby matches against fellow Irish provinces.

But you'd still watch on the wonderful RTE right? Wouldn't go hurting Ryle Nugent's feelings would you?

Good to see K-Mac back at number 6. I almost forgot about him. So many great choices for the backrow; Heaslip, O'Brien, Ryan, Ruddock, Jennings, McLaughlin; 2 world beaters, 2 future stars and 2 criminally underrated talents

munstermuffin · Apr 2, 2011

Well we got Ryan at 6

Management see him primarily as a 6 now seen as we have POC DOC Micko Nagle and Foley ally signed up.
I would've liked to see Quinny get a last go at Leinster here or even play O'Mahony or Billy Holland who both have trained excellently in past few week.

Says a lot about how Leinster want to play this game. With McLaughlin at 6 we have 4ish lineout options, most likely to try to counter the influence of DOC and POC. Munster are after all a set piece team so if we can take the scrum and lineout we should win the game.

TRF_Olyy · Apr 2, 2011

I'm keen for this match,

It's like Ireland vs Ireland
You've got (partly) Old Ireland Forwards (Munster) vs (partly) Young Ireland Forwards (Leinster) and then (partly) Old Ireland Backs (Leinster) vs (partly) Young Ireland Backs (Munster)

King_D'Arcy · Apr 2, 2011

I'm really looking forward to this match. I love beating Munster. But I hate losing to them even more... I was at the Heineken Cup Semi Final in 06. That was an unpleasant day. I hated all the smug Munster fans! They were all there with big **** eating grins after the match, strutting around Ballsbridge like it was their farm

It's getting a bit boring now though. I prefer a challenge like Treviso away.

The place is so full of shite it may as well be a farm.

Rather live in Libya than Dublin...but I suppose they need a place to keep all the people who wish they were living in Cork.

The blood is boiling now. Good news is it a wet dirty day so hopefully it'll be a good ol' slobber knocker

King_D'Arcy · Apr 2, 2011

Is the weather bad in Munster? It's sunny in Leinster. A but of an omen really

munstermuffin · Apr 2, 2011

lynam1104 · Apr 2, 2011

monkeypigeon · Apr 2, 2011
