Double World Cup winner RG Snyman says he is looking forward to taking on his former side Munster at Croke Park on Saturday having made his Leinster debut at the weekend. Snyman played 51 minutes as Leinster maintained their perfect start to the URC with a 35-5 victory over Benetton on Treviso on Saturday afternoon. And with over 70,000 tickets sold for the clash against Munster, Snyman, whose Leinster’s debut was delayed by a foot injury picked up on duty with the Springboks, said it will be a special day.
He only played 20 times during his four years with Munster but did play in derby matches against the three other provinces and knows how big they are. “It’s a special week. It’s not just a once-off or a one-day event.
It’s going to be a massive clash and I’m really looking forward to it,” said the South African. He was delighted to get back out on the field at Stadio Monigo and play his part in a victory that was fashioned by four tries in the opening 26 minutes after having his Leinster debut delayed by injury. “It was obviously something quite frustrating but it gave me a chance to get settled and meet the boys and not to rush into these games,” added Snyman.
“It is so good to be back out there and hit the field running and making my debut with all the other boys returning as well after international duty. It was really fun out there. “It was quite hectic, it was quite busy.
Everybody has been quite welcoming and I must say it’s quite nice to expe.
