The contrasting fortunes of two of Munster’s long-term absentees were brought into sharp focus by Mike Prendergast on Tuesday as the attack coach assessed the current scenarios for RG Snyman and Andrew Conway.

Both of them seasoned Test players for South Africa and Ireland respectively, Snyman is two weeks out from a probable return after almost 17 months on the sidelines rehabilitating the second of two serious knee injuries which have restricted the lock to just four appearances in his two-and-a-half years at Munster.
