Edogbo elevations help lift Munster mood ahead of Dragons visit

What luck for McMillan then that another Edogbo, a back row as opposed to a lock, has pulled up at the rank with 21-year old Sean set for a provincial senior debut on Friday evening against the visiting Dragons in Virgin Media Park.

Right now, Munster can do with all the positive vibes they can generate after last week’s defeat to Castres in Thomond Park and the Champions Cup exit it precipitated. Thankfully, then, some of the mood music has improved.

Eight of their players were selected for Andy Farrell’s Six Nations squad on Wednesday. That’s a 100% increase on their November input and, if some owe their elevation to injury misfortunes elsewhere, then Clayton McMillan isn’t letting that dampen spirits.
