Clayton McMillan praised his Munster players for responding to the challenge of backing up their previous week’s victory at Leinster with a gritty 17-15 win at home to Connacht in Limerick on Saturday night.

Munster extended their winning start to the URC season with a fifth-straight victory under their new head coach, who on arrival this summer had made adding a consistency of performance from week to week one of his major objectives.
