With their season over on two fronts, Munster are hoping RG Snyman can prove to be a pot of gold by the end of the Rainbow Cup.

Back-to-back knockout defeats in the last eight days have extended a decade-long wait for silverware, Munster’s woes continuing on Saturday as a Heineken Champions Cup Round of 16 exit at the hands of Toulouse followed the previous weekend’s Guinness PRO14 final loss to Leinster.
