At this stage of the season, a ‘job done’ mantra appears to be the dominant takeaway for Clayton McMillan after Saturday’s 26-10 victory over the Ospreys in Bridgend. “I’ve been speaking to lots of media people who have questioned [how] we have been winning but it’s not been pretty,” said McMillan. Five line breaks came from Munster players but these were often opportunistic moments off the back of carries under pressure. “Our set-piece functioned well, I thought our maul was particularly good today,” said McMillan with a nod to Barron’s catch-drive score. Later on, in the second half, the hosts’ sole try came off the back of penalty after penalty given away close to the Munster line.
