With two games left in the regular season, the stakes don't get much higher than this. Indiana comes into the game 10–0, looking to prove people wrong that their success has not been due to a weak schedule. On the Ohio State sideline, they're looking to live up to expectations and get one step closer to the Big Ten championship game—a rematch with Oregon, their only loss. The Hoosiers last defeated the Buckeyes in 1988 when they won 41-7 in Bloomington, Indiana. Since then, they have played 31 times, with Ohio State winning 30 of those matchups. There was one tie in the 1990 game. The stakes have never been higher than this year's game, with Ohio State ranked number two and Indiana ranked number five . The last time Indiana was ranked in the top five, they won a share of the Big Ten championship in 1967. It was a three-way tie with them, Purdue, and Minnesota. 🌹 Honoring our 1967 Big Ten Champion & 1968 Rose Bowl team. pic.twitter.com/5PnFeUK2ro What does a win mean for Indiana? The game is big for Indiana to silence the doubters and secure their path to the Big Ten Conference Championship. If they win against Ohio State, they will earn a spot in Lucas Oil Stadium to face Oregon, regardless of the outcome of next week's game against Purdue. Ohio State's path to the conference championship game is to beat Indiana on Saturday and Michigan in their final regular-season game. That would give the Buckeyes a chance to revenge the only loss of the season against Oregon. Once again, Ohio State is playing at noon on Saturday. Fox seems to have put them in that time slot every week. Will Indiana fans be lighting a "CIG," or will the Shoe be rockin' one step closer to a date with the Ducks? We will know around 2:30 on Saturday afternoon, possibly earlier, if one team dominates the game. One thing is or sure, Ryan Day can't afford to lose this game. Buckeye fans will be calling for his firing if that happens. It’s time to show a nation, the Best Damn Fans in the Land 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/siwrXTt5yZ

In the end, Munster were not without fight but the constant pressure from Leinster sapped energy and amounted to little with Leinster taking four tries to Munster’s one. And the opening try came too easily. When Robbie Henshaw threw a forward ball to Tommy O’Brien after six minutes with the line at his mercy, Munster breathed a sigh of relief. But Leinster won the scrum, Sam Prendergast kicked for an attacking lineout and Leinster’s bigger bodies hit the line. After Josh van der Flier and Ryan Baird had bumped up, Luke McGrath picked up the ball with a giant gap opening. The scrumhalf sailed in unopposed for the first score. Prendergast kicked for the conversion and after 10 minutes Leinster had taken a 0-7 lead. But a high-energy Munster were far from winded and took the game to Leinster. When O’Brien was yellow carded at 21 minutes on the Leinster line after Scottish referee Sam Grove-White had spoken to captain Caelan Doris for infringing, Munster chose to tap and run. For a while it looked like Leinster would break as they absorbed pressure before Tadhg Beirne threw himself over the line under the posts. It seemed then a deserved try had fallen Munster’s way, but heroic defending from Garry Ringrose had held the ball up and within seconds Leinster were up in the other half of the field. On 32 minutes hooker Rónan Kelleher did as Munster had done and tapped with the big bodies that were defending their line minutes before pumping towards Munster’s posts. Finally, McGrath whipped the ball out with Prendergast on a scything run inside the 22. With room to spare he ran in and under the posts to convert and make it 0-14. It was not what Munster deserved going in at the break, but their inaccuracy at times had let them down. However it didn’t show, and far from any signs of despondency Munster opened the second half at high tempo and Leinster were again backing off. A scrum penalty allowed them kick into the Leinster 22 and again they were probing the Leinster defence. Three tap penalties later from Niall Scannell five metres out and Tom Ahern took on the ball at pace bursting through the blue wall. They had found their accuracy. Munster were finally on the board with Billy Burns converting for 7-14 on 53 minutes, home confidence soaring. Leinster though were irrepressible and less than 10 minutes later were pushing Munster on their line. Just like that they had flipped the pressure and with Munster stretched, Joe McCarthy drove his way towards the posts. Van der Flier was at his side to pick and go from yards out with no Munster body to lay a hand on him. Prendergast again converted and Leinster had reestablished their 14-point lead. Munster did continue to fight but Leinster by then felt they had the resources to see out the match. As the bench started to empty, it looked more and more like Munster had given all they had and it just wasn’t enough on the night. Leinster ended the match looking for more scores to strengthen their position at the top of the URC table and Munster looked out on their feet. Finally, it fell to the Leinster captain Doris to barge in for Leinster’s fourth try, momentum and strength taking him over the Munster line for the final time to bring it to 7-28. The result leaves Leinster unbeaten this season in the URC and Champions Cup.
