Munster and Leinster collide in round 2 of Interpros, while Ulster host Connacht
Munster began their Vodafone Women's Interprovincial Championship with a bonus-point win over Ulster but they know there is much to improve on.
And the quick-fire nature of the fixture list means they don’t have lots of time to "right a few wrongs", with champions Leinster Saturday’s visitors to Cork.
Alana McInerney’s hat-trick sent Munster on the way to a 29-22 victory but it was the Ulster women who finished stronger, scoring the last two tries and 'winning the second half’ 17-7.
"I think we’d probably be disappointed with how the game finished," head coach Fiona Hayes, in her first match in charge, said on RedFM.
"We were 22-5 up at half-time, and probably didn’t play the best rugby in the second half.
"We’re very happy with how the first half went, but I suppose our disappointment would lie in that second half. In saying that, Ulster were so physical, they came out firing in.

"I think the Interpro games are getting tighter and tighter each year, which makes the competition brilliant.
"We’ll be looking forward to next week’s match against Leinster to right a few wrongs."
There are two changes to the side with Dorothy Wall and vice-captain Aoife Corey coming in.
Leinster impressed in a six-try victory over Connacht in Donnybrook last weekend.
Tania Rosser’s charges took control from early on and ran out 38-19 winners.
"We know Munster are going to fight to the last minute, the final whistle, and we just want to front up to them," Leinster full-back Emma Tilly, scorer of her side's fourth try, said this week.
"They’re strong around the park, and we know that, and we’ll have to scrub up on a few things and put it up to them."
