We are quickly approaching the new year and both Leinster and Munster will be looking for big wins to cap off a rollercoaster 2024.

Leo Cullen and Leinster will be largely happy with how the new season has started. They currently sit top of the URC with eight wins from eight.

Munster, on the other hand, are in sixth. Their season has been largely overshadowed by the departure of Graham Rowntree as Head Coach.

And as is largely tradition, the two sides meet in a post-Christmas clash that only whets the appetite for more Rugby in 2025.

Today's game takes place at Thomond Park in Limerick with kick-off set for 7.35 pm. The game is live on TG4 and the TG4 Player as well as Premier Sports in Ireland. We will also have live score updates of the match right here.
