Four proud provinces.
Munster decided to give Leinster a helping hand this afternoon by giving one of their young prospects a bit of game time as he makes his way back from injury.
The Munster development side took on the Irish U20’s at Thomond Park, coming away with a 15-10 victory in a close affair in Limerick. Highly-rated Leinster lock James Ryan was a late addition to Munster’s squad before the game, as the southern province gave their Irish rivals a helping hand.
