Denis Leamy described fit-again RG Snyman as “absolutely available” for his first game in 16 months when Munster face Scarlets at Musgrave Park on Friday night.

The South African World Cup-winning lock has recovered from the second serious knee injury since he joined Munster from Japanese club Honda Heat in the summer of 2020 and is in the selection mix for potentially just his fifth appearance in that 30-month spell when the BKT United Rugby Championship campaign resumes in Cork after a two-week break.
