The Guinness PRO14 final has been confirmed to be taking place on Saturday, March 27th when defending champions Leinster Rugby will face Munster Rugby at the RDS Arena.
The game will kick off at 5 pm and will be televised broadcast live by eir Sport and TG4 in the Republic of Ireland, with Premier Sports screening the contest live across the UK in addition to DAZN’s coverage in Italy and SuperSport’s showing in South Africa.
This will be only the third time that Leinster and Munster have faced each other in the deciding game of the season. The first encounter took place on December 15, 2001 at the old Lansdowne Road where a 14-man Leinster side won the first-ever Celtic League trophy.
It was 10 years later when the teams would duel it out for the Celtic crown when Munster saw off the freshly-minted European champions at Thomond Park on May 28, 2011.
Now, having won their respective Conferences in the Guinness PRO14, Leinster will host Munster by virtue of their superior match point total at their home ground.
The winner will become the 20th champion of the tournament since it began life as the Celtic League in 2001. Leinster are seeking to extend their record by winning an eighth title, while Munster are aiming to win the fourth title and first since 2011.
