'When the team is going well and things like that, he gets behind us, and when the team is going poorly, he’s a man to pull you up.'
MUNSTER DEFENCE COACH Denis Leamy and second row Fineen Wycherley are excited for the southern province to welcome back to the field RG Snyman, whom Leamy says is “absolutely available” for Friday night’s URC fixture with Scarlets at Musgrave Park.
“Yes, he is absolutely available for this weekend,” Leamy said of the 28-year-old lock. “He’s come through the last couple of days really well. Preparations are going very well for Friday night and RG is in good nick and he’s up for selection along with the other 55 players that we have available to us at the moment.
“Look, I think you can’t shy away from the fact that he’s had a horrific time since he’s come to Munster in terms of his injuries,” said the Coomhola man. “But I think he’s added to us as a squad over the last number of years in different ways. Off the pitch, as a second row, I’ve learned a lot from him. He’s been very helpful to a lot of the younger lads coming through and he’s quite a positive figure even though it’s been a tough time.
While Crowley enjoyed a positive cameo off the bench during Ireland’s victory over Italy in Rome and Carbery and Salanoa are, for the moment, further down the depth chart in their respective positions, many considered Coombes unfortunate not to have his formidable provincial form rewarded with a run-out of some sort in Rome.
