Van Graan admits Snyman 'not coming back anytime soon'

The province are still missing Irish international Tadhg Beirne, Andrew Conway, Gavin Coombes and Dave Kilcoyne.

RG Snyman has endured a nightmare run of injuries since joining Munster 

Munster will be without a number of big-name players for this Friday’s United Rugby Championship derby at Ulster with supporters also told not to expect RG Snyman back from long-term injury anytime soon.

Johann van Graan’s squad resume their bid for a home URC play-off quarter-final this weekend having welcomed back captain Peter O’Mahony, fly-half Joey Carbery and wing Simon Zebo from injury and illness for the European knockout win over Exeter Chiefs last Saturday. Yet Munster are still missing Irish international Tadhg Beirne, Andrew Conway, Gavin Coombes and Dave Kilcoyne.
