Leinster's primacy in Irish rugby was reinforced by their record in the festive Interpros: two straight wins, with Ulster pitching up in Dublin this weekend to quell a clean sweep. Here are details on where to watch Leinster vs Ulster.
Where to watch Leinster vs Ulster
The game is live on three separate channels: TG4 from 5.20pm; BBC 2 Northern Ireland from 5.30pm and Sky Sports Main Event from 5.30pm.
It kicks off at 5.35pm at the RDS.
Are either side in form?
Leinster are, emphatically. Top of their Champions cup pool, they lie two points of Scarlets at the top of Conference B. Ulster, meanwhile, earned a badly-needed win against Munster in their last outing, with results against Harlequins in Europe keeping them in the mix ahead of the final couple of Champions Cup fixtures.
They lie third in the conference, six points off Leinster.
What are the teams?
Jack McGrath captains a much-changed side which features the Henshaw/Ringrose partnership. Tadhg Furlong starts in the front row, while Jordan Larmour earns a start. Johnny Sexton is on the bench.
Here's the team in full.
Jordan Larmour; Fergus McFadden; Garry Ringrose, Robbie Henshaw; Barry Daly; Ross Byrne, Jamison Gibson-Park; Jack McGrath, James Tracy, Tadhg Furlong; Devin Toner, Scott Fardy; Josh Murphy, Jordi Murphy, Jack Conan.
