Leinster v Munster (Sat)

Leinster v Munster Date: Saturday, 12 April
Kick-off: 1830 BST
Venue: RDS

Keith Gleeson and Girvan Dempsey return to the Leinster team for Saturday's Magners League clash against Munster.

Gleeson comes into the back-row while full-back Dempsey gets a start after featuring as a second-half replacement in the 24-10 victory over Llanelli.

Brian O'Driscoll was included in the squad but the Irish skipper has failed to recover from a hamstring injury picked up in the Six Nations.

A facial injury keeps David Wallace out of the Munster team.

Wallace was a doubt after sustaining the injury in last Saturday's Heineken Cup win over Gloucester

O'Driscoll has been out of action since Ireland's Six Nations defeat by Wales.

Munster are second in the table but they are 11 points behind Leinster, although Declan Kidney's side have a game in hand.

Realistically, Munster must win at the RDS to keep alive their title hopes.

Leinster have four games to play while Munster have five remaining matches.

Saturday's game is a 18,500 sell out.
