The side, who suffered a narrow 13-12 loss to Leinster in their opening fixture, will be hoping to end the series on a high, in what has been a very positive campaign overall.

After a positive start to their series last Saturday claiming a 22-7 win over Connacht at Cork IT, the side will hope to remain on course to retain their title.
