LEINSTER LOCK RG Snyman will step his rehabilitation from a foot injury this week ahead of Leinster’s trip to Treviso to face Benetton on Saturday (5:15pm, RTÉ 2/Premier Sports 1).
The Springbok second row missed South Africa’s title-winning campaign in the Rugby Championship but is expected to make his Leinster debut in the near future having arrived from Munster during the off-season.
Leinster didn’t rule out the prospect of Snyman featuring against the Dragons on Friday but head coach Leo Cullen ultimately opted not to include the 29-year-old in his matchday squad for the bonus-point victory at the Aviva.
Snyman will again escalate his training load this week ahead of a potential debut at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo on Saturday.
Loosehead Michael Milne, meanwhile, emerged unscathed from Friday’s 34-6 win over the Dragons having recently recovered from an ankle issue.
Leinster were left with no significant injury concerns from the weekend, with only Dan Sheehan, Jack Boyle, John McKee, Paddy McCarthy and Tommy O’Brien definitively ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Italy.
Going for a Chelsea win here.
Good god I should bet on these 5/7 right so far this season.
And now for the main event
Actually this is the warm up for the real main event… West Ham vs QPR.
The incident is flares being set off by arsenal fans, stewards now checking fans coming in to the ground.
Must have taken a leaf out of Galatasaray’s book, I’d say. Not a smart thing to do.
Terrible performance by arsenal , no shot on target, ridiculous playing Ozil out wide, too easy for Chelsea
All the idiots in the photo taking selfies…
Great to see Costa end his recent goal drought.
Horrible tackle by Cahill. He is lucky he didn’t do some serious damage to Sanchez.
COYG
Do it for Piers Morgan
Full kit w*nker.
Arsenal were rubbish and Chelsea were fab…
Great analyst Jack.
Arsenal were let down by their final ball and by Ozil in particular. Was a real derby game. Both sides were were lucky to finish with 11 men. The goals came from two moments of magic, only one of which Chelsea were capable of producing last year.
Can’t fault Jack for accuracy there…
Let’s green thumb it to comment of the week…
Arsenal will definitely do better than last year,
need to draw at least as 9 points behind will
be too much to chase.Arsenal need ideally to
win.
Arsenal > Chelsea > Liverpool > United
There’s 16 other teams between Liverpool and United
Jose record against Utd, arsenal, city and Liverpool: played 32, lost 3. You should probably have another go at that.
I think that should go;
Chelsea> Man City> Southampton> Man Utd……..and if you could be arsed typing it all out you’ll eventually get to Asenal> Liverpool.
Not sure how to feel about Fabregas.
I love and hate him all at once
Suppose its not his fault that Wenger didn’t sign him, apparently cesc wanted it to happen
Why do you hate Fabregas?
Because he left Barcelona
Diego de man.
Why do you hate him???
