Leinster’s meeting with Munster in Dublin on Saturday may not be must-win for Leo Cullen but he insisted the derby clash was still a very big “want-to-win” game.

Head coach Cullen has rested his entire first-choice starting line-up for this United Rugby Championship finale to the regular season, sandwiched as it is between a Heineken Champions Cup semi-final victory over Toulouse and the following Saturday’s final against Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle in Marseille.
