Clontarf v Cork Constitution Castle AvenueWhat are the odds that all or some of Duncan Williams, Scott Deasy, Tom Gleeson and Billy Holland – they were on the bench for Munster last night – could play a part in today's game? On form, Con should win but missing personnel could push this one the home side's way.
Verdict: Clontarf.
Dolphin v Garryowen Musgrave Park. Garryowen have climbed off the bottom of the table following some good performances of late, including a win over today's opponents. Dolphin won't have James Coughlan available but welcome back leading points scorer Barry Keeshan.
Verdict: Dolphin.
Shannon v Blackrock CoonaghThe Limerick club demonstrated just how well they are playing with a bonus-point victory away to St Mary's last time out. Blackrock are in something of a losing spiral and their chances won't have been enhanced by losing fullback Andrew Conway to Leinster.
Verdict: Shannon.
St Mary's College v UL Bohemian Templeville RoadSt Mary's College need to restart their season following a poor run of late and know they can not afford to let a victory slip away. They lost the reverse fixture back in November but can turn the tables on that result today.
Verdict: St Mary's College.
