Snyman is living proof owners don't get to resemble their pets; the giant Viking owns cocker and springer spaniels...
RG Snyman isn't just one of the best players at Leinster or in Ireland or in the URC , that's surefire setting the bar too low - he is currently one of the best in the world.
If there is to be a surprise surrounding Snyman's landing in Dublin it is that the IRFU allowed it, the deal coming on the cusp of the departure of David Nucifora and the arrival of David Humphreys as IRFU Performance Director; whichever one deserves the credit, sanctioning it was genius. The first is reference to a happy time, winning RWC 2010 in Japan, and while he doesn't explain the second, it is surely a less-than oblique reference to the vast wasteland that became his time at Munster...
"The depth Leinster has, it’s something that shouldn’t be taken lightly and I think we should appreciate what we have in that. It’s very much just next guy in the role and you take over. "Yeah, I probably summed it up there in what I just said about the environment for guys to grow and step in and learn, as well as voice your opinion and there's a lot of learning to be done in that as well.
"It’s even been good after the games, you go to the pub and you have a pint. It’s all good and everyone is very excited about the season and what is ahead, what we’ve done so far. It’s just class to play.” "It’s incredible to see the skill set that he has and it’s exciting to play off that and, like that offload on the weekend, you can sometimes just throw the ball around a bit knowing that he’ll be there and he’ll be able to pick the ball up. It’s not just him and it’s exciting to play with guys like that, that has that read on the game.”
Rugby fans looking for fireworks from a Leinster side under the pin of their collar selection-wise this week were shown some treats last week, two tries and a sumptuous off-load to Sam Prendergast.
