Munster will have a "big target" on their backs at the Aviva Stadium, admits Jeremy Loughman.

The Reds prop loved his time with Ireland during the summer and at France 2023 but knows that there will be a freeze in relations on Saturday night against a Leinster side out to make a statement.

"Yeah, 100%," said Loughman. "We'll have a big target on our back and they'll be looking for revenge up there, I know they all will be.

"It's massively exciting. It will be a proper match - a proper rivalry match - so I'm really looking forward to that. They'll definitely be coming for us but we'll be looking forward to it."
