"He is also a double-World Cup winning Springbok and all that brings in terms of experience and all our players can tap into that. We are always looking for ways we can improve our learning as a group and I know from speaking to Jacques that RG will hopefully help us do just that. "His arrival is a fair bit away yet, but it’s great to have his signature and in time we can welcome him properly, but for now it’s all eyes on our trip down to Limerick on St Stephen’s Day."The impending capture of RG Snyman was discussed on the latest House of Rugby [from 7:35 below], with former Leinster and Ireland star Lindsay Peat remarking that her province would be wise to put in a minutes played clause into a contract that is reportedly high.

"Continuing with Munster Rugby beyond June of 2024, was no longer a choice I could exercise. I will continue to give my absolute all and best for Munster, on and off the field, until the end of the season. After careful consideration of all offers presented, the Leinster opportunity was the one I decided on. It is an invitation that allows me to continue to stay part of a world class high performance rugby set-up. It also enables my wife and I to stay in Ireland. "I am a professional rugby player. I need to work very hard to see to it that I add value to any system that trusts me enough to improve its cause. At Leinster, I will continue to be challenged to my utmost limit to improve my game and hopefully contribute to improve the club. That will be my only job and I intend to do everything to achieve this at the highest level of performance."I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and to work under Jacques Nienaber again. I want to thank Leinster for making it possible." There should be extra bite to Munster's next URC clash against Leinster, at Thomond Park, on December 26.
