RG SNYMAN WILL undergo surgery in South Africa this week after sustaining a chest/shoulder injury in the World Cup final, Munster have announced.
Snyman has been plagued by injury since joining the province in 2020, suffering two ACL injuries and also sustaining substantial burns following an accident.
The 28-year-old is now set for another spell on the sidelines, having helped the Springboks to back-to-back World Cup glory in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Calvin Nash will be assessed by the Munster medical team after a knee injury saw him withdrawn from Saturday night’s win against the Dragons. His availability for Friday’s interpro derby away to Ulster will be determined as the week progresses.
Simon Zebo (foot) and Josh Wycherley (neck) both return to full training this week and are available for selection, while Patrick Campbell (ankle), Roman Salanoa (knee), Mike Haley (hip), Cian Hurley (ankle/achilles), Niall Scannell (groin) and Andrew Conway (knee) continue to rehab.

It has to be Egypt….with Salah “down the wing” :-)
No love for Spain?
@Stipe Miocic: Sacking the manager a day before the tournament wouldn’t fill anyone with confidence
@David Lyons: I understand but that’s a dispute between Florentino Perez and the head of the Spanish FA. The man in charge of the Spain to you now is Fernando Hierro. A man that is very much respected by the team.
What’s with all the Brazil votes? Their defence is brutal .
@Fiachra Ahern Esq: You say that but Brazil have a handy enough defence. Thiago Silva, Danilo, Marquinhos, luis (can’t think or don’t know any more) aren’t bad players , some are better going forward than defending but that supply is vital to their success in front of goal. Ederson and Allison could be the two most expensive goalkeepers ever come the start of the season, can’t be that brutal.
@Hardly Normal: you forgot marcelo. One of the best players in the world this year. Also they havent conceded a goal in about 6 games so some people describing them as brutal is a bit harsh
