Sometimes the scoreboard doesn’t tell the full story. Munster’s three-point loss against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld was not necessarily a fair reflection of the game, and it doesn’t reveal the story of how well they responded from the previous week’s dismal 45-0 loss against the Sharks in Durban.

For coach Clayton McMillan, it was a bittersweet feeling after the match. He was gutted at the result, but proud of the effort and improvement of his team in the space of a week.
