Alex Nankivell has explained his “hurt” at letting the Red Army down in Bath last weekend after Clayton McMillan left the Munster players in no doubt about how much they owe their supporters a performance against Gloucester on Saturday at Pairc ui Chaoimh.

Following a chastening 40-14 Champions Cup pool defeat to Johann van Graan’s English champions last Saturday night, Munster will pitch up in Cork needing a victory over their second-round Pool 2 rivals to get their European campaign back on track and hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
