Leinster began their series of Irish interpros by defeating Ulster 24-20 at the Aviva Stadium on Friday to make it four wins from seven outings in the competition so far. Munster meanwhile make seven changes from the side that started Saturday's bonus-point win over Ospreys in Wales on Saturday, a result which saw them climb to second in the table. Captain Tadhg Beirne, Thaakir Abrahams, Craig Casey, Michael Milne, Lee Barron, Edwin Edogbo and Tom Ahern all come into the starting XV.

He is joined among the replacements by Diarmuid Barron and Dan Kelly who both return from injury.
