"Leo Cullen has claimed that URC champions Leinster are the side chasing Munster as they prepare to duke it out in Croke Park in front of an expected crowd of more than 50,000 tonight (5.15pm)."
"Borrowing from a familiar refrain of generations of GAA bainisteoirs, Cullen has decided to flip the underdog narrative ahead of a fixture which his side have won 21 of the last 26 times."
Leinster, as URC champions, are being cast as the side chasing Munster ahead of a Croke Park clash tonight at 5.15pm before an expected crowd of more than 50,000. The underdog narrative has been deliberately reversed using a familiar refrain from generations of GAA bainisteoirs. The match pits two provincial rivals in a high-profile fixture at a major stadium. Historical results heavily favour Leinster, who have won 21 of the last 26 meetings between the sides. The matchup combines form, history and crowd interest, setting up a narrative contrast despite past dominance.
