RG Snyman may have been pleased his Munster return lasted longer than his seven-minute debut 13 months ago but the giant lock gave enough of a glimpse in 15 minutes for his boss to promise there is plenty more to come.

Sidelined by a serious knee injury at Aviva Stadium in August 2020, the South African World Cup winner’s inclusion by head coach Johann van Graan on his teamsheet this week must have sparked feelings of relief throughout the Munster camp ahead, such was journey the 6ft 9in, 18st-plus lock has been on since that fateful landing following a lineout steal against Leinster.
