ANDREW Brace will referee Munster's marquee Guinness Pro14 semi-final with arch rivals Leinster at the Aviva Stadium on Friday evening, 7.35pm
Friday night's derby will be Brace's 54th time to take charge of a Guinness Pro14 fixture.
In February of this year, Brace took control of the Guinness Six Nations game between France and Italy at the Stade de France.
