While he has become accustomed to the concept of interprovincial derbies during his time in Ireland, there is another rivalry that continues to hold a special place in the heart of Springbok international RG Snyman.

Despite originally hailing from Potchefstroom in the North West Province of South Africa, Snyman finished his childhood in Pretoria and went on to represent the Bulls in his native country’s administrative capital.
