Clayton McMillan has warned there is only a short journey from a pat on the back to a kick in the rear as he looks for his Munster squad to back up their impressive victory over Leinster with a repeat performance at home to Connacht this Saturday.

The head coach and his players have been receiving rave reviews since they turned over the URC champions at Croke Park last Saturday with a 31-14 bonus-point victory to continue their winning start to the season to four from four.
