The game kicks off tomorrow evening at the Aviva Stadium.

The Leinster team to face Munster in the Semi-Final of the BKT United Rugby Championship, tomorrow evening in Aviva Stadium, has been named.

Luke McGrath captains the team, as there is a welcome return from injury for Rónan Kelleher.

The hooker is set to feature for Leinster for the first time since January.

Eadestown's Jimmy O’Brien starts at full-back, with Tommy O’Brien and Dave Kearney named on the wings.

Charlie Ngatai and Robbie Henshaw are partnered in the centre, with Harry Byrne and McGrath completing the backline.

In the pack, Michael Milne and Michael Ala’alatoa pack down either side of Kelleher in the front row.

Ryan Baird and Jason Jenkins form the heart of the pack for the second week in a row, while Max Deegan, Donadea's Will Connors and Jack Conan in the back row.
