Clayton McMillan did not leave New Zealand for an easy life, and he certainly hasn’t had one coaching Munster Rugby this season.

Yet for all the trials and tribulations of an often fraught first year as head coach in Ireland, the former Chiefs boss reckons he and his players will be better for their experiences, as long as others inside the organisation are willing to row in the same direction as his high-performance unit.
