ABBIE Salter-Townshend is hoping for interprovincial glory this Saturday, as Munster take on Leinster in the final at Energia Park (4.30pm).
The Skibbereen woman has started, at scrum half, all three games for Munster in the series, including the latest win away to Ulster, 38-17, that sealed a place in the final against the defending champs.
Salter-Townshend will be hoping to win her second trophy this year after her All-Ireland League Women’s Division success with UL Bohemians in April.
Munster already beat Leinster earlier in the campaign, winning 33-22, but anything can happen in a final. Also, in last year’s decider Leinster beat Munster 27-7.
The interpro final will be streamed live on the Sport TG4 YouTube channel.
