These are both really strong sides.
Munster and Leinster have named their teams for this weekend’s Champions Cup quarter-finals.
Leinster will face Wasps at the Aviva Stadium at 3.15 pm on Saturday and Leo Cullen names a side which includes a whole load of returning Ireland internationals.
Robbie Henshaw, Garry Ringrose, Sean O’Brien, Jack McGrath, Tadhg Furlong and Jonathan Sexton all return to the side as Leinster look to overcome a formidable Wasps outfit.

Down south, Munster have been sweating on the fitness of Conor Murray but the Limerick man seems to be deemed fit enough to return after suffering that shoulder injury against Wales in the Six Nations.
Donnacha Ryan, CJ Stander, Keith Earls, Andrew Conway and Simon Zebo all feature after their exploits in green over the past two months.
Munster will face familiar foes Toulouse in Thomond Park at 5.45 pm which will undoubtedly be an electric atmosphere at the famous Limerick venue.

Come 8pm on Saturday night, we could well have two Irish sides in the semi-finals of rugby’s premier European club competition.
