Both sides won their opening games last Saturday which saw Munster defeat Leinster at home and Ulster taking the away win against reigning Interprovincial Champions Connacht.

This could prove to be the vital game of the series and whichever side claims victory tomorrow will be in the driving seat going into the final weekend of the series.

Head coach John O’Neill was happy with last week's win but had some concerns given Leinster’s late rally securing two precious bonus points.

The Munster Juniors starting line-up for tomorrow’s game has not been confirmed as the coaches are waiting on the fitness of some members of the squad, but expect to see a similar line up from the team that started last weekend.

Live score updates will be available through the Munster Junior Rugby twitter feed live from Coleraine RFC (kick-off 2.30pm).
