Munster assistant coach Mossy Lawler wants side to strive for 'consistency of performance' 

Assistant coach Mossy Lawler encapsulated the mission earlier this week when he said: “Last week's bonus point isn't going to mean anything to us unless we make sure we get a home win this week.”

The Thomond Park faithful get their first look at Clayton McMillan’s Munster on Saturday evening with the new head coach demanding his players back up their bonus-point victory on the opening day of the URC campaign when Cardiff visit for round two.

Instilling consistency of performance from week to week has been one of the New Zealander’s chief objectives since arriving from the Chiefs. And following up last Saturday’s 34-21 win at Scarlets with an equally convincing outing on home soil against a side coming off their own bonus-point victory over the Lions is of paramount importance.
