What TV channel and time is Munster v Ulster on tonight in the Rainbow Cup?

Munster will look to ride the momentum of their opening round Rainbow Cup victory over Leinster when they welcome Ulster to Thomond Park.

The 27-3 victory over Leinster ended a hoodoo for Johann van Graan's side over their provincial rivals and they now face into another clash against familiar opponents.

Ulster endured a frustrating loss to Connacht in their opening round match in Belfast and have named a strong starting lineup to put things right.
