Munster captain Craig Casey said they had no choice but to produce a response against the Bulls after last weekend’s 45-0 hammering by the Sharks was followed by the midweek disclosure that the province is seeking voluntary redundancies among the general staff in the organisation.

And while Munster went down 34-31 in Pretoria, Casey said the battling qualities shown in garnering two bonus points were a decent response.
