Bok star gets the green light after injury lay-off

NEWS: Springbok lock RG Snyman will return to the playing field this weekend.

Irish province Leinster included him in their starting line-up for Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash against Benetton in Italy on Saturday.

It will be his first appearance for the Irish giants since joining from rivals Munster.

The 29-year-old lock has been out of action since he was a late withdrawal ahead of South Africa’s Rugby Championship opener against Australia in August due to a foot injury.

The lock was named in the starting XV but was withdrawn just hours before kick-off.

Snyman has stepped up his rehabilitation programme in Ireland this week and was passed fit for action.

Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus will also be keeping an eye on the lock as the end-of-year tour is just weeks away.
