Craig Casey insists Munster's defeat to Bath, and the manner of the 40-14 loss, won’t play on their minds ahead of Sunday’s Champions Cup clash against Toulon.
After starting off with five wins in a row under new head coach Clayton McMillan, Munster lost narrowly at home to URC leaders Stormers in November, but it was the nature of the reverse in The Rec which caused some alarm bells to ring.
The Premiership champions scored four tries in the opening 20 minutes and thereafter Munster were fighting an uphill battle.
They had to contend with an early yellow card for captain Tadhg Beirne and that led to a record-time try bonus for Johan van Graan’s men.
Toulon have won all eight of their home games this season and sent a shadow squad, hammered 66-0, on the road to La Rochelle on Sunday.
Pierre Mignoni’s side have clearly targetted this Sunday’s showdown (1pm Irish time) and aim to heap another miserable away day experience on their visitors.
"To be honest, the first 15 minutes of that [Bath] game were a shocker and probably everything that could have went wrong went wrong," Casey, who scored Munster's second try, told RTÉ Sport.
"But if you look at the other 60 minutes of that game, [the issue was] definitely the inconsistency of our game.
"There were some really good things in that game where we got five metres out from their line and if we converted another two chances, you've got a bonus point away from home and you could be pushing for a bit more.
"But, unfortunately, we didn't [convert] those moments near the line but we were in there quite a few times.
"So that's an area we've looked at over the last few weeks, in and around that kind of five metres out or the 10 metres out, how can we get better there.
"Because we're definitely getting in there.
"But again, it's that start as well
"When you leave yourself 28-0 down at the start of a big European Cup game against a good side like Bath, all they have to do then for the rest of the game is kick the ball and defend on a wet night, you're going to struggle.
"So it's the consistency of our start. But then I don't think that plays in your mind over the last few weeks."
Munster famously beat Toulon two years ago at the Stade Felix Mayol with 10 of the starters in that 29-18 win still involved in the squad.
Casey, who has 25 Ireland caps, says the key to dealing with a hostile environment is to embrace it.
The scrum-half said: "I don't think you're going to negate the Stade Felix Mayol, to be honest. I think you've just got to love those opportunities to play in stadiums and atmospheres like that.
"In fairness, the Munster fans are always really good to travel no matter where we're going.
"So you always feel them anyway. And I think we understand that when you're going away from home and Munster bring all those fans, not every team gets that so that's special as well.
"I think just loving the fact that you're playing in big games and big stadiums.
"There's got to be moments where you're under the cosh and they're loud.
"It's probably loving that kind of adversity."
Munster come into the game off the back of derby defeats to Leinster and Ulster but the 26-year-old insists they are in high spirits and determined to put in an 80-minute performance.
"Mentally, we're in a good spot," he said.
"We're not down on each other or anything like that after the last two games.
"I think it's just about finding that kind of consistency within our prep and within our performance.
"We've probably alluded to that over the last few weeks. It's a big thing for us.
"We've had some really good halves of rugby and then the next half has been inconsistent.
"We've had some really good games and then the next game has been inconsistent.
"So it's probably about finding that consistency that we're on the same level every week.
"Going out there, we might not win every game, but you're always going out there with the same mindset and the same kind of energy."
