Classic derby game beckons as teams are named
- Updated: 22/01/2021

BOTH Munster and Leinster have named their match-day squads for to-morrow’s game. On paper it appears that the two provinces are fielding close to full-strength, which will certainly add to the intensity of this encounter. Shane Daly is selected on the left wing for Munster with Gavin Coombes keeping his place in the number six jersey.
Leinster will have Garry Ringrose back in the centre with Seanie Cronin returning to familiar territory as hooker. Jonathan Sexton will captain the Leinster side.
