Clayton McMillan: I welcome any review that’s going to ultimately help Munster be better

McMillan on Tuesday described the prospect of missing out on both objectives as “huge” for the province but gave supporters a boost with a positive update on fly-half Jack Crowley’s prospects of returning.

Clayton McMillan has welcomed Munster Rugby’s decision to commission an Independent Governance and Organisational Review following the abandoned bid to hire Roger Randle as his next attack coach but said he will not be distracted from his efforts to secure his team’s place in the end of season URC play-offs.

Munster go into the 18th and final round of the URC regular season needing a victory at home to South Africa’s Lions at Thomond Park on Saturday to be certain of the top-eight finish that will ensure knockout rugby from the end of this month and Champions Cup rugby for 2025-26.
