Munster will take the field at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening having been told to embrace the pressure of a must-win Champions Cup fixture against old rivals Gloucester.
That the pressure is there at all is down to last Saturday’s major mis-step at Bath, when Clayton McMillan’s side kicked off their Pool 2 campaign in disastrous fashion at a rain-drenched Rec by conceding 28 points without reply inside 18 minutes en route to a 40-14 defeat.
