Leo Cullen is hopeful that RG Snyman can have a similar impact to that of his former team-mates Rocky Elsom and Brad Thorn when the South African international joins the Leinster ranks for the 2024/25 season.

Following intense speculation, it was announced by Leinster Rugby on Tuesday that the two-time World Cup winner will be joining the eastern province (on a reported one-year deal) after he departs their arch rivals Munster at the end of the current campaign.
