Leinster vs. Munster Is The FloRugby Club Match Of The Week
Leinster vs. Munster Is The FloRugby Club Match Of The Week
There will be 80,000+ rugby fans at Croke Park as the world's best club rugby rivalry renews Oct. 18.
There are a lot of amazing club rugby rivalries in the world.
The North-South Derby in South Africa between the Bulls and Stormers. The East Midlands Derby in PREM Rugby between the Saints and Tigers. Blues and Crusaders, Waratah and Reds in Super Rugby.
All great. All amazing. But none are Leinster vs. Munster, the Eastern Province vs. the Southern Province.
Last year, this match was played at Croke Park, the most famous stadium in Irish history and possibly of European history.
And it's back this week, rugby fans.
It'll be streaming at 12:15 p.m. ET on Oct. 18 on FloRugby and the FloSports app and streaming, drum roll please, for free on FloRugby's YouTube and Facebook pages.

The United Rugby Championship expects more than 80,000 fans again at Croke Park, and FloRugby's Philip Bendon will be in Dublin for the match.
With the British and Irish Lions players mostly back this round, the match could be the best the two squads have looked all year.
The two clubs are not close on the table.
Leinster has been beaten soundly in two matches already without its stars. The Dublin club enters with a 1-0-2 record.
Munster, with its new coach Clayton McMillan, is second on the table with a 3-0-0 record and looking up at only the DHL Stormers.
Pau vs. Toulouse Rugby Also This Week
It has to be a heck of a match to be rated ahead of Pau, which just crushed Bayonne, and Toulouse, which just flayed UBB.
The No. 1 and No. 2 clubs on the Top 14 table play this week at Pau in what would be the biggest match of the weekend most weeks. That match is at 4 p.m. ET on Oct. 18.
