McMillan rotates but wants to bed in collisions culture

The New Zealander has enjoyed back-to-back URC wins but knows a repeat of the performance against Cardiff will not cut it against Edinburgh

Clayton McMillan knows last February’s 34-28 URC home loss to Edinburgh is still “etched pretty deep” in the memories of all inside the Munster set-up who were involved but the new head coach has more recent issues to resolve as the Scotsmen return to Cork on Friday (7:45pm).

The New Zealander has enjoyed back-to-back URC wins in his maiden campaign but he knows a repeat of the performance that saw his side hang on for a 23-20 victory against Cardiff last Saturday will not cut it against an Edinburgh side with similarly abrasive capabilities.
