Leinster and Munster look to bounce back

Leinster and Munster will both be looking to bounce back from last weekend's defeats when the second round of Heineken Cup games continues this afternoon.

Munster host Treviso at Thomond Park in Pool One of the competition, with kick-off scheduled for 1.35pm.

The southern province have made just one change to the side that lost to Northampton, with Denis Fogarty deputising for the injured Jerry Flannery at hooker.

Leo Cullen and Kevin McLaughlin, meanwhile, face late fitness tests to decide if they can play a part in Leinster's clash with Brive at the Stade Municipal at 3.45pm.

The defending champions need a victory in the Pool Six tie to keep their campaign on track following last weekend's loss to London Irish.

Elsewhere, Ulster will be looking to continue their positive start to the competition when they face Edinburgh in Scotland.

The northern province beat Bath in their opening Pool Four game last weekend.
