Munster head coach Clayton McMillan said his team didn’t make the most of when they were on top against the Stormers in the opening half and paid the price with a first defeat of the season.

McMillan was pleased with a lot of the hosts' opening-half performance but felt they should have pushed on for an even bigger return than their 21-6 interval lead.
