Munster's Clayton McMillan: I'm fully committed to the team until the end of the season

'I communicated to the Irish Rugby (Football Union) and our boards and our players that if I'm not the right person to lead this team forward, then people can make that decision and I'll accept it'

The fallout from the abandoned appointment of Roger Randle as Munster’s next attack coach received fresh impetus Thursday after head coach Clayton McMillan effectively issued a ‘back me or sack me’ challenge to his bosses.

McMillan chose to continue expressing his disappointment that his former Chiefs assistant would not be joining him for next season, voiced his loyalty to the Munster players and the project they had embarked on since he joined last summer - and challenged his employers to show the same support for him.
