Mike Prendergast admits excitement is building around a long-awaited comeback from injury for RG Snyman as the World Cup winner prepares to relaunch his Munster career in the coming weeks.

Munster will be without the South African lock this Friday when they resume their BKT United Rugby Championship play-off push with a visit to Thomond Park from Ospreys but the aim is to have the 28-year-old back on the pitch on March 3 when the province plays Scarlets at Musgrave Park in Cork.
