Munster vs Leinster Preview

This should be another tight contest that could go either way. Leinster are favourites with a handicap of five, the exact margin Leinster won by in November. The two games before that between these sides saw one point separate the teams in each game.

I’m backing Munster to get within five points at home and perhaps beat their rivals.

Munster have failed to win in 3 of their last 4 matches.
Leinster have won 3 of their last 4 matches against Munster.
Leinster have won 7 of their last 8 matches.

Head to Head

Leinster have won three of their last four matches against Munster. They met at the end of November this year; a match Leinster won 21-16 at home.

Munster Form

Munster are the defending URC champions but are currently sixth on the table. They have won four and drawn one of their seven matches to date.

Over the last two weeks, Munster have been involved in the Champions Cup. They drew 17-17 at home against Bayonne which was a very disappointing result for them.

Last time out Munster went down 32-24 at Exeter which makes their run for the rest of the Champions Cup a tough one.

Munster will no doubt put out their strongest side for this huge derby.

Leinster Form

Leinster are second on the URC table having won six of their seven games. Should they win at Munster on Boxing Day, they will go top of the table once again.

Over the last two weeks, Leinster have won both their Champions Cup fixtures. In a repeat of the European final last season, Leinster beat La Rochelle 16-9 in France.

Last time out Leinster won at home, this time 37-27 against Sale Sharks.

Leinster Injuries & Team News

Considering the size of the derby it is unlikely that Leinster will rest any key players.

Munster can get inside five points and perhaps cause an upset win.
