ULSTER Rugby’s Kingspan Stadium in Belfast will host the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship finals day on Saturday, August 31.
In the third round of the 2024 Championship, Munster and Leinster claimed the top two places, seeing out the round robin phase with wins over Connacht and Ulster respectively.
Table toppers Munster overcame Connacht 29-24 at the Dexcom Stadium with Alana McInerney’s second half try – her sixth of the tournament – getting them over the finish line despite a cracking comeback from the hosts.
In Belfast, defending champions Leinster secured second sport thanks to a 39-14 victory over Ulster. Teenagers Robyn O’Connor and Kelly Burke scored their first senior tries for Tania Rosser’s side.
Coached this season by Fiona Hayes, unbeaten Munster will be looking to carry that winning momentum into the title decider against Leinster, who lost 32-21 when the arch rivals met in Cork in the second round.
The 3rd-4th place play-off between Connacht and Ulster will take place at Kingspan Stadium at 2.00pm on Saturday, before the much-anticipated Championship final kicks off at 4.15pm.
There will be live coverage of both matches on TG4, and also the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
IRFU Women’s Development Manager Amanda Greensmith commented: “We are delighted to bring the Vodafone Interprovincial Championship finals to Kingspan Stadium this coming Saturday.
“We have seen the welcome and support afforded to our teams here, and look forward to both games on Saturday, August 31.
“The 2024 Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship has been really exciting to date, with great competition among the four provincial teams, and I’m sure the finals day will be no different.”
