After Leinster vs Munster was cancelled last weekend due to players in the Leinster camp testing positive for Covid-19, we have a clean slate of Inter-pro derbies to look forward to this weekend.
Both games are on Saturday evening, and first up is Ulster vs Munster from the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast.
Kick off is at 5.15pm, with coverage starting at 4.45pm on Eir Sport 1. Deferred coverage of the game will be available to watch on TG4 at 8pm.
