Tom Farrell knows there is no way of skirting the issue as Munster prepare to face a powerhouse Bath side at The Rec on Saturday night: it is going to take a “complete performance”.

There are plenty of positives for Farrell and his team-mates to carry with them to England’s west country as they open their first Champions Cup pool campaign under new boss Clayton McMillan. Confidence, the newly minted Ireland centre insisted this week, remained high despite last Saturday’s first defeat under the New Zealander, six rounds deep into the URC campaign at home to the Stormers.
