Waterpark's Noel Roche captains Munster juniors at Waterford City

Waterford City rugby club is the place to be on Saturday afternoon with Munster and Leinster set to face in the junior interpros.

Geoff Kenny's team boasts three Waterford players, with Waterpark's Noel Roche captaining the side from loosehead prop.

Willie Whelan and Conor Horan are also named to start.

Munster beat Connacht in round one, before falling to Ulster last weekend.
