Munster finished sixth in the regular season and whilst it has been an inconsistent campaign, they do come into this game after back-to-back wins to end the season.

They have also won their past two URC quarter-finals, but did suffer a heavy defeat on their last visit to Durban.

The Sharks, meanwhile, finished third in the regular season and have suffered just two defeats at home this campaign, against Toulouse in the Champions Cup and Leinster in the URC.

Munster interim boss Ian Costello has again named an unchanged team for his side's trip to Durban.

Jack Crowley is retained at fly-half having overcome a rib injury in recent weeks.

Peter O'Mahony and Stephen Archer are named in the pack in what could be their final game before retirement.

Centre Rory Scannell is set to make his 200th Munster appearance off the bench. Also named among the replacements is former Ireland scrum-half Conor Murray, who will leave the club this summer.

The Sharks, who beat Munster 41-24 in Durban in October, name a team loaded with South Africa internationals, including Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche, Makazole Mapimpi and Lukhanyo Am.

Sharks: Fassi; Hooker, Am, Esterhuizen, Mapimpi; Jordan Hendrikse, Jaden Hendrikse; Nche, Mbonambi, Koch; Etzebeth (capt), Jenkins; Venter, Tshituka, Kolisi.

Replacements: Mbatha, Mchunu, Jacobs, Van Heerden, Buthelezi, Davids, Venter, Penxe.

Munster: Abrahams; Nash, Farrell, Nankivell, Kilgallen; Crowley, Craig Casey; Milne, Niall Scannell, Archer; Kleyn, Beirne (capt); O'Mahony, Hodnett, Coombes.

Replacements: Barron, Wycherley, Ryan, Ahern, Kendellen, Murray, Scannell, Haley.

Well that's the end of our coverage in Dublin as Leinster set up a home semi-final against Glasgow next Saturday.

We now turn out attention to Durban where the Sharks host Munster to see who will play Bulls in the other semi-final.

Leinster captain Jack Conan tells BBC One Wales: "We were good in parts. Discipline killed us a little bit, we gave away a lot of soft penalties. In fairness to the Scarlets, they stuck in it and battled hard, so they’re a team with a lot of ion.

"They pushed us at times, I think we were just a bit inaccurate and forced things. There were some frustrating bits there.

"I think it’s just that lads want to have big moments and feel like they’re doing well. Sometimes, it’s just a bit of overzealousness.

"We gave away some sloppy penalties and were trying a little bit too hard."

Leinster full-back Hugo Keenan was named player of the match.

"We’ll take the win, knockout finals rugby is never going to be pretty," said Keenan.

"It was a little bit scrappy, a little ill-disciplined but we’re just happy to get through and onto the next one now.

"Our discipline wasn’t great, we were a little bit loose with the ball in the first half, so we’ll have to be better at that.

"Glasgow will have their tails up and it will be a tough game next week."

Scarlets were right in the fight for a lot of that game.

Leinster paid them the respect that they deserved by taking three points rather than going for the corner.

In the end, the scoreline was a fair reflection of the game.

Leinster were not completely convincing but were still too strong for Scarlets and the Irish side will host Glasgow in the semi-final next Saturday.

Scarlets' defeat represents the end of the domestic season for the four Wales' professional sides.

Leinster have just shown their clever nous and physicality.

The bench has made a big difference in this second half too.

That should be that as far as the Scarlets are concerned.

No mistake from Prendergast and that should mean that Leinster go on and book their place in the last four.

Leinster fly-half Sam Prendergast slots over the simple penalty as pictures show blood streaming down the face of replacement second row RG Snyman.

A high tackle from Scarlets flanker Vaea Fifita on Leinster full-back Hugo Keenan is checked by Scottish referee Hollie Davidson and the television match official (TMO) Andrew McMenemy.

It is a yellow card rather than a red card with the officials not seeing a high degree of danger.

It is a second sin-binning for Scarlets in the second half.

This game is not over yet.

There's still plenty of time and the Scarlets have proven they can score from anywhere.

Leinster will be desperate to win this competition.

They’ve put a lot of their effort into European games. If you look through their squad, hardly any of their players have played double figures in the URC this season.

That’s the difference. The Scarlets are playing up to 20 games and in Europe as well, it counts for a lot at this stage in the season.

Again British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell will be hoping that is nothing serious as the Ireland number eight prepares for the trip to Australia this summer.

Leinster are easing away now with three more points from Prendergast. The hosts lead by three scores.

Couple of changes for Scarlets. Prop Henry Thomas and wing Tom Rogers leave the field and are replaced by Sam Wainwright and Macs Page.

That latest try looks as if it’s going to be a pivotal moment in the context of this game.

Leinster are pulling away with momentum on their side. They’re eyeing a home semi-final against Glasgow.
