Clayton McMillan has restated his disappointment that Roger Randle will not be Munster’s next attack coach but has praised his players for having to field media questions about the controversies surrounding the New Zealander’s aborted appointment.

The head coach was speaking on Thursday, a week on from Munster’s announcement that their contract with the Chiefs attack coach to replace departing senior coach Mike Prendergast had been cancelled.
