Munster supporters will get their first glimpse of what their team’s future may hold when new head coach Clayton McMillan takes charge of his first home game in Friday’s pre-season fixture with Bath at Cork’s Virgin Media Park.
The assumption has been that the coach who steered New Zealand’s Chiefs to three consecutive Super Rugby finals before leaving his homeland for Ireland this summer would bring an all-singing, all-dancing brand of running rugby with him to impose on his newly inherited squad but McMillan, 51, outlined his belief that the general perception of his gameplan was erroneous and that there will be some pragmatism applied to Munster’s playing style, just as there was in Waikato.
