Clayton McMillan has urged his players to bring a smile back to Munster Rugby after a difficult week for the organisation on and off the pitch, but the head coach wants his team to focus wholeheartedly by putting in a strong performance at the Bulls on Saturday afternoon.

McMillan’s squad will leave their Cape Town tour base on Friday and fly across South Africa to the Highveld ahead of their URC clash at Loftus Versfeld, a meeting between the eight-placed hosts and his own side in sixth.
