Munster may have to wait for the return of World Cup winner RG Snyman after revealing the Springbok lock will go for surgery in his native South Africa this week.

Head coach Graham Rowntree said on Saturday following Munster’s 45-14 victory over the Dragons in Cork that Snyman and fellow Springbok second row Jean Kleyn were due to report back to the province on November 20 at the conclusion of their post-World Cup break.
