Clayton McMillan will travel to the capital satisfied his team maintained their early season momentum having found a way to get the job done in front of a sell-out 8,800 crowd on Friday night.

Clayton McMillan accepted Edinburgh’s ill-disciplined gifts as his Munster side squeaked a 20-19 victory in Cork to continue a winning start to the URC campaign with a performance he described as a step in the right direction.

Without the benefit of four yellow cards and 14 penalties from the visitors to Virgin Media Park, the New Zealander might have seen his unbeaten start to life as Munster head coach stall at two matches but the former Chiefs boss took comfort that his third straight league win of the new season had come through hard work and a will to win.
