Munster and Leinster meet in the Vodafone Women's Interprovincial Championship final at Dexcom Stadium on Saturday, with both sides bringing serious Ireland ambition into a provincial occasion that deserves a proper stage.
Twenty-six players from the newly announced Ireland training squad are due to feature across finals day in Galway. That gives the final real bite. This is an interprovincial decider, but it is also a chance to put a hand up before the next international window.
Munster bring power and continuity
Munster have made two changes to the side that beat Connacht 47-12 last week. Eilís Cahill returns at tighthead, while Clodagh O'Halloran moves from flanker to lock in place of the injured Jane Clohessy.
Maeve Óg O'Leary returns to captain the side from number eight. The back line is unchanged, with Caitríona Finn and Emily Lane again paired at half-back and Enya Breen and Lucia Linn in midfield.
Leinster have their own firepower
Leinster name Stacey Flood at full-back, with Robyn O'Connor and Vicky Elmes Kinlan on the wings. Dannah O'Brien starts at out-half beside scrum-half Katie Whelan, while Sarah Delaney captains the pack from hooker.
The fixture starts at 4.30pm and will be shown live on the TG4 YouTube channel. A final between the two biggest provincial names in the women's game should not need a sales pitch, but the depth of international talent makes this one especially worth the afternoon.
