What rugby gives rugby takes away. So it is that Munster fans can be buoyed this week by the news that Peter O’Mahony and Jack O’Donoghue won’t be long for the treatment room while wincing at another brutal update on the status of RG Snyman.

Reports in South Africa earlier this month had it that the Springbok’s two-time World Cup winner would be out long-term with the shoulder/chest injury that required surgery after their successful Webb Ellis defence in France.
