LEINSTER EXPECT NEW recruit RG Snyman to feature by Round 3 of the URC at the latest, while scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park has returned to full training after missing Ireland’s summer tour of South Africa.
Cullen described Snyman’s foot injury as “pretty minor, thankfully”, and said that he expected Snyman to be in contention for selection with Leinster by either the second or third round of URC action. “I’m not sure if he’ll be back for round one but hopefully by round two or three, he’ll be back for us.”
Ciarán Frawley’s heroics in Ireland’s second test against South Africa led for calls for him to usurp Byrne brothers Ross and Harry, as well as up-and-comer Sam Prendergast, in the eastern province’s pecking order for the new campaign. “Listen, we would probably be having a different conversation if Frawls had kicked the drop-goal when he came off the bench against Toulouse, pretty much from the exact same spot where he kicked it from in Durban,” Cullen said.
