Munster host Leinster in the St Stephen's Day interprovincial main event in the United Rugby Championship.
The Irish rivals go tow-to-toe once again as the Blues look to bounce back from Champions Cup walkover disappointment.
A Covid-19 outbreak in the Leinster ranks meant that Leo Cullen's men were forced to concede a bonus point loss to Montpellier last weekend, although Leinster have indicated their desire to contest the EPCR ruling.
Meanwhile, Munster's young guns earned a dream victory over Wasps after the Reds' own Covid-19 chaos before last weekend's victory over Castres meant they retain a perfect start to the Champions Cup.
But they've also endured a tempestuous week after it was confirmed head coach Johann van Graan would depart for Bath at the end of the season.
