Mossy Lawler believes Munster’s back-to-basics pre-season training regime under new boss Clayton McMillan can turn his province into a powerful force after admitting “something had to change” to make the players stronger and fitter.

New Zealander McMillan arrived this season after guiding the Chiefs to three consecutive Super Rugby finals, becoming the permanent replacement as head coach for Graham Rowntree, who departed six games into last season.
