RG Snyman ready for first Munster start at Thomond Park after recovering from pneumonia

Regrettably for Munster supporters it could also be one of his final appearances on home turf before a summer move to Leinster

Just when you thought RG Snyman had endured quite enough for one lifetime, let alone a four-year spell with Munster, the double World Cup-winning South Africa lock reveals he has just overcome a bout of pneumonia.

Add that debilitating illness to the two knee reconstructions, burns from a firepit accident and chest/shoulder surgery that have reduced his on-field time since joining the province in the summer of 2020 to just 15 appearances and it is a miracle the big man even reached double figures in red.
