With gates open from 3pm and admission free, it promises to be a great occasion for young and old at the home of Terenure College RFC, especially after last week’s commanding first round win away to Connacht. 

While parking at the ground in Lakelands will be very limited, there is ample on-street parking in the area and the club will have plenty of food and beverage options available as they welcome Leinster and Munster supporters to Terenure.

James Culhane will again lead the Leinster 'A' squad on Friday afternoon, while  Leinster Academy Manager Simon Broughton has selected a squad of 25 which is permitted under the rules of the competition, including the inform Terenure quintet of James McKee, Casper Gabriel, Fintan Gunn, Ben Howard and Adam LaGrue.

Munster Academy lock Evan O’Connell, who earned his first Munster cap against the All Blacks XV earlier this month, will captain the 25-man squad with a mix of senior, Academy and club players selected. Senior players Tony Butler, Paddy Patterson, Eoghan Clarke, Tom Ahern, Jack Daly and Brian Gleeson are all named in the starting Munster 'A' XV with Scott Buckley and short-term signing Conor Bartley (Young Munster) among the replacements.
