Munster Vs Leinster All Ireland Final Still A Possibility

Munster Vs Leinster All Ireland Final Still A Possibility

Leinster and Munster could meet in the final of this year’s Heineken Cup after the sides were kept apart in Sunday’s semi-final draw.

However, both sides will have to do it the hard way as they will have to travel to play away from home if they get through their respective quarter-final clashes.

Should Leinster beat Clermont Auvergne, they will travel to play the winners of Toulouse and Stade Francais, while Munster must, once again, overcome Northampton at Thomond Park to face either Biarritz or Ospreys in the semis.

Meanwhile, Connacht received a favourable draw in the quarter-finals of the Amlin Challenge Cup after they were handed a home tie against French side Bourgoin.
