Can Munster find a way to break Leinster fans’ hearts
- Updated: 17/10/2025
Leinster Munster
IT’S going to be a difficult battle for Munster to-morrow and they will have to ‘up’ their performance if they are to get the better of what is close to a full Ireland fifteen in ‘Croker’. It will be up to captain Tadhg Beirne to lead the side to an historic success over their old enemy and remain unbeaten in round four of the URC. On paper it has to be a home win but, who knows? Munster have sprung surprises in the capital in recent seasons, so fingers crossed!
