Clayton McMillan hasn’t spared his Munster charges as he wielded an axe to his team for tomorrow’s meeting with Gloucester at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.

The New Zealander has described last week’s defeat away to Bath as “bordering on embarrassing”, making nine changes to his starting XV and a further three positional changes for the visit of Gloucester who have left first-choice half-backs Tomos Williams and Ross Byrne at home.
