The big prizes have passed Irish rugby by this season but the Magners League has gone from strength to strength and Leinster and Munster will be very keen to get their hands on it.
Motivation should not be an issue.
For Munster, it's about putting right a season of reversals against this opposition. Leinster will contemplate the fact that a more consistent performance in their pool might have given them a better shot at reaching the Heineken Cup final for some time to come.
Both Leinster and Munster failed in Europe largely due to issues with scrummaging and if 2010 has shown us anything, it is that this is a serious problem for the game in Ireland which extends beyond the propping alone.
That scrum could again prove crucial and in this fixture it is a contest at which Leinster have mostly had the upper hand.
The return of Jonathan Sexton should add some zing to the back play and despite the absence of Leo Cullen, Leinster have a settled and powerful look to their first XV.
For Munster, the list of missing players is considerably higher, Paul O'Connell being the most notable. In this fixture in particular Munster could have done with O'Connell's fire.
David Wallace is surprisingly also picked on the bench, with Niall Ronan and Nick Williams set to play at seven and eight respectively despite having had a torrid time of it in that first RDS fixture.
The hope for Munster is that the budding centre pairing of Jean De Villiers and Keith Earls is showing signs of becoming dangerous. Earls' pace could yet prove a trump card when running at the seam between Brian O'Driscoll and Shane Horgan.
Ronan O'Gara's range of kicking and ability to probe the wings in particular could also give Leinster a headache.
Succeeding in the wide areas will, as ever though, depend on Munster getting among Leinster up front. Leinster's pack has proved more than equal to the red machine this season, though the loss of Cullen could prove influential.
But with home advantage and Sexton's return giving them a better defence and more attacking variety than in recent weeks, Leinster look to have all the aces.
