'Being in Ireland, I understand': Jacques Nienaber sympathises with those involved in fire-pit accident

RG Snyman was one of two South Africa internationals, along with Damian de Allende, involved in the incident

South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber is optimistic Munster duo Damian de Allende and RG Snyman will both be fit to face Georgia on July 2 when the world champions begin their warm-up series ahead of the British & Irish Lions Test series.

The Springbok pair suffered superficial burns alongside Munster team-mates Mike Haley and CJ Stander in an accident with a petrol can and a fire-pit on Saturday night but Nienaber, who had earlier that day called them into his training squad for the Lions series and preceding warm-ups with Georgia, is hoping they will be cleared to travel home as soon as it is safe for them to do so.
