Lying in 9th and 7th in the table respectively, this is a crucial game for both clubs.

When the teams met recently, the Limerick club stole the points with a late try, and Old Belvedere will be anxious not to let lightning strike twice. Old Belvedere seem to make a habit of giving away games in the dying minutes, and have gifted both Clontarf and Young Munster similar victories this season. In many cases the Dublin club have been the better side but have struggled to close out their games.

UL Bohs are coming into this game on a downer, having been well beaten by bottom side Shannon last time out. Supporters know that this is a must win game and with home advantage they will be expected to do the business. However, Old Belvedere are starting to look a much better side, despite recent results, and if they can play an 80 minute game, they may cause an upset.

Verdict: Old Belvedere
