RG Snyman is set for his first Thomond Park start on Saturday after being named in Munster’s line-up for the must-win URC interprovincial clash against Connacht.

The double-World Cup-winning South Africa lock, who has made just 15 appearances in his almost four years at Munster due to illness and serious injury, has managed just four appearances off the bench at the Limerick stadium in addition to a start at Cork’s Virgin Media Park earlier this season.
