Pro 14 – Leinster vs. Munster – Five Key Battles

The Pro14 is nearing completion, and once again the finest representatives from Irish, Scottish, and Welsh rugby are represented in the final four.

With Scarlets and Glasgow making up one semi-final, the other represents an all-Irish affair.

Munster have earned everything they’ve got in the competition this year, just edging South African outfit Cheetahs into the playoff position in Conference A. With a record of 13 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw, the men from Limerick will feel they can bring a gritty brand of rugby to the table come Saturday.

Their opponents Leinster have had a season for the ages, with head coach Stuart Lancaster guiding the ship. Topping Conference B, the Dubliners also added the European Championship in Bilbao last weekend.

An impressive defensive display combined with superior game management to secure a 15-12 victory against Racing amidst the Spanish downpour.

Stepping into the Pro14 semi-final, many are viewing Leinster as the overwhelming favourites.

Here are the key battles that will determine the outcome of Munster vs. Leinster.
