Munster are confident RG Snyman will be fit to face Northampton Saints this Sunday in their Champions Cup Round of 16 knockout tie but doubts remain over Calvin Nash for the trip to England’s East Midlands.

Double World Cup-winning South Africa lock Snyman missed last Saturday’s 20-15 URC home win over Cardiff due to illness but Munster defence coach Denis Leamy said there was hope in the camp the Springbok giant would be fully recovered by the time of kick-off at Franklin’s Gardens on Sunday lunchtime.
