The teams have gone in from their warm-up and kick-off is coming up soon.

The fans are in full voice and Thomond Park is filling up on a cold, damp night.

There's a stiff breeze in the air too which will make things interesting...

Five minutes to kick-off.

Here are your teams...

Up next, Munster finish their Champions Cup group stage with a visit from Northampton at Thomond Park.

Graham Rowntree’s men kept their chances of a place in the knockout stages alive with a famous win over Toulon last weekend.

To obtain a coveted home tie they will need to beat Northampton with a bonus point and then hope Exeter return with no points from their final Pool 3 game against Bayonne on Sunday evening in order to finish above the Chiefs.

Still lots to play for!

Stay tuned as we’ll be providing live text commentary so you won’t miss a thing!

That's all from Welford Road as Leicester fall to a third Leinster defeat in three years.

Thanks for joining our coverage, but don't worry, we're not done just yet...

I'll leave it to my esteemed colleague Peter Lockhart to take you through Munster v Northampton Saints...

What an end to this game! Both teams were desperate to score a try.

Just as it has been throughout this game, Leinster's class came through in buckets. Doris has been on fire all game and it shows how good Leinster are.

It's all over at Welford Road.

The Leinster juggernaut marches on, while Leicester face a wait to learn their fate.

The clock is in the red but Leinster choose to play on and kick the penalty for touch.

The Irish side are chasing the bonus point.

Leicester have not been able to get anywhere near scoring points in this second half. Leinster have just kept knocking them back, they've been so strong.

It's been a really difficult for Leicester in this half.

Handre Pollard kicks the penalty for touch but the hosts throw away the opportunity to launch an attack as the planned short line-out goes all wrong.

Leinster nearly confirmed as pool winners.

Into the final five minutes, and the game just seems to be petering out a bit.

Leicester still chasing the try to bring them to within losing bonus territory and Leinster still trying to kill the sting out of it.

Leicester are back in their own 22, just where they don't want to be.

A losing bonus will be enough to guarantee qualification but they're at the wrong end of the field for now.

Leicester have got to turn this into points. They can't seem to string more than four or five phases together. It might be they are forcing it too much with the clock ticking down.

They need something from somewhere to get that bonus point to stay in the tournament.

Tigers launch their attack but one tackle in midfield allows Caelan Doris to nip in at the breakdown and win the penalty.

Brilliant defence.

Leicester are nearly over for their second try but it ends with Leinster losing Jack Conan to the bin.

We'll come back for the Tigers scrum five metres from the Leinster line.

England men's all-time appearance record holder Ben Youngs is on the field for Tigers.

The hosts win a penalty as Leinster do not roll away at the breakdown and Handre Pollard opts for touch.

As it stands, Leicester will end the game empty-handed, with Sale v La Rochelle to come on Sunday.

But the Tigers could still crash out in the event of a win for Sale, with the holders also claiming try-scoring and losing bonus points.

It would be some story, wouldn't it...

With 55 minutes on the clock, Leicester have made 50 more tackles than their visitors.

Leinster have taken control of the ball and the game.

It takes some power to knock Tadhg Furlong backwards in the tackle but that impressive feat has just been achieved by his fellow Irishman James Cronin.

You could hear the thud in the stands.

James Lowe takes the high ball and shows incredible strength to keep the green shirts at arm's length.

The Ireland wing is some player.
