Fitzgerald, a former British & Irish Lions, Ireland and Leinster player, commenting on his role said: “Aviva Stadium has created so many special occasions for players and fans from all around the world and the prospect of witnessing the Guinness PRO12 Final there is creating a great buzz across the Championship.”

Commenting on the appeal of the PRO12 Final to both a home and an international crowd, Fitzgerald sad: “I’m sure the supporters from Scotland, Wales and Italy will know from their trips to Dublin during the Six Nations just how welcoming the city is and it’s going to be a great occasion for them no matter who reaches the Final. The Guinness PRO12 has been full of attractive rugby for years, but this season it’s gone to the next level and you can see that the clubs have carried that form into their European performances.”

With both Munster and Leinster sitting cosy in the top 3 of the table at present, an All-Ireland clash could be on the cards.
