The 6ft 9ins second row offers a threat that was missed last weekend in Limerick.
THERE HAVE BEEN more ‘comebacks’ than he would have wanted in his spell with Munster but every time that RG Snyman makes his return in the red jersey, the sheer quality is blatantly obvious.
Remarkably, he has never started a game for Munster at Thomond Park. That was supposed to finally happen last weekend, with Snyman named to start the URC clash against Cardiff in Limerick, but he had to pull out with a virus. Watch as he dummies an offload to sell the Zebre fullback into shifting wider, holds the ball in his fingertips, then instead offloads off the ground for Ruadhan Quinn to score.
The growing hope is that Snyman will be back for this Sunday’s Champions Cup knock-out clash with Northampton. Munster are on the road in the Round of 16 and Snyman’s availability could be game-changing. If Snyman is ready, you’d imagine Munster will go with that selection again, meaning Tom Ahern would be in a bench impact role – something which is sure to be important in Northampton.
