Munster U18 Boys Clubs v Leinster U18 Boys Clubs, 2.30pm – Virgin Media Park
The top two clash in an Interprovincial Championship decider in Cork on Sunday afternoon.
With just four points separating Munster from top spot, there are a number of different permutations that can take place to decide the winner.
To secure the title, Munster must beat Leinster with a bonus point and Leinster must not receive any points from the game.
There are two permutations where the championship would be shared and that is if Munster win without a bonus point and Leinster get no bonus points or if Munster win with a bonus point and Leinster earn a bonus point (losing or try bonus).
Leinster will take the title if they win or there is any sort of draw.
Munster were beaten 20-14 away to Connacht in their opener before a bonus-point win away to Ulster last weekend.
