Date and time set for final round URC clash between Leinster and Munster at the Aviva Stadium

The final regular season clash between Leinster and Munster has been confirmed for Saturday, May 21st at the Aviva Stadium with a 7.15pm kick-off.

The last time the two sides met at Aviva Stadium was in the semi-final of the PRO14 in September 2020 in front of no supporters with Covid-19 restrictions in full force.

Tickets for the Round 18 game between Leinster Rugby and Munster Rugby are already on sale ahead of the game.

The final round of the season will see play-off places decided and the first URC Shield winners crowned.

The game will also be live on TG4, Premier Sports and URC TV.

Last month, Leinster and Munster agreed to switch their remaining regular URC season fixtures to ensure the sides can meet at Thomond Park.

The Reds' were due to host a meeting of the provinces during the final round in May.

But there was a high possibility that the ground would be unavailable as stadium bosses had committed to hosting two Ed Sheeran gigs on May 5 and 6.

To accommodate the fixture, the home and away sequence for the showdowns between the rivals was switched.

Munster will now be the home team in round 15, hosting Leinster at Thomond Park on Saturday, April 2 at 7pm.
