Munster v Leinster Betting: Heineken Cup winners odds on for Magners League final

Leinster will bid for a famous double on Saturday afternoon when they take on Munster in the Magners League Grand Final at Thomond Park. Last weekend's Heineken Cup winners are bidding to become only the fourth club to do the domestic-European cup double and they are 4/6 on to win in the betting with Paddy Power. Although Munster boast home advantage and can be backed at 6/5, with the draw priced 20/1.

A Jonathan Sexton inspired Leinster produced a stunning comeback in one of the great Heineken Cup finals last weekend as they beat Northampton in an epic encounter. Sexton scored two tries, four penalties and three conversions to secure victory after his side had been trailing at half time and Sexton looks very tempting at 11/2 to be man of the match again on Saturday.

Meanwhile, for those who fancy lightening striking twice and Leinster to come from behind at half time again, the double result of a half time Munster win and full time Leinster win can be backed at 13/2 in the betting with Paddy Power.

Leinster are bidding to match only Leicester (twice), Wasps and Toulouse in completing the cup double and they arrive in Limerick on the crest of the wave. They have won their last seven matches in all competitions, although they have had to make changes with Fergus McFadden, Heinke van der Merwe and Shane Jennings coming in, and they take on a formidable Munster.

Munster topped the Magners League table by 13 points from their rivals and will have the backing of a 26,000 strong vociferous home support. Furthermore, they are on a nine match winning run and have won all twelve of their Magners League fixtures at home this term.

Doug Howlett has been in prolific form for them in the competition, scoring seven tries, and he is well worth a look at 10/1 in the betting with PaddyPower.com to score the first try of Saturday's match or indeed at 5/2 to score a try anytime.

Munster did win the league meeting between the two sides 24-23 in April and Munster look well worth backing in the handicap market as they are given a +2 advantage by PaddyPower and are available at 10/11.

They go into the match unchanged from their 18-11 semi-final win over Ospreys and have had the benefit of two weeks off, but Leinster arrive in high spirits after their European Cup win. Furthermore, that 24-23 win for Munster in April was their first victory over Leinster in six attempts and we fancy Leinster could well pull off another famous win.

The Leinster win by a margin of 1-5 points looks very tempting at 7/2 as they bid to write themselves into the rugby history books and folklore.
