What time and TV channel is Leinster v Munster on today in the United Rugby Championship?

The Aviva stadium will today see another clash between Leinster and Munster.

Both sides have played in the venue in recent weeks but in European competition as Munster suffered penalty heartbreak at the hands of Toulouse - who were then felled by Leinster as they booked their place in the Champions Cup final.

Munster are the team with something to play for as while they are assured of a post-season berth, they could drop all the way down to sixth if results don't go their way.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of this evening's match:

Where and when is it?

The match takes place at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, May 21.

What time is kick-off?

The match will kick-off at 7.15pm.

What TV channel is it on?

It'll be shown live on TG4 with their broadcast starting at 6.40. So you also have the option of streaming it through the TG4 Player.

Premier Sports 2 will also be showing it.

Quotes corner

Munster coach Johann Van Graan: “What we need to do better is to perform for 80 minutes if we want to get a result on Saturday.

“We’ve got to scrum better. We came up against a pretty special Toulouse scrum and we know Leinster have a very good scrum, too.

“Another disappointing thing was that after scoring the first try, we conceded straightaway.”

And he added: “In previous games against Leinster, we spoke about minutes 30 to 40, specifically.

“It doesn’t matter who they play against, they have that ability to score just before half-time.”

Leinster win: 15/8
