Munster World Cup winner RG Snyman set for surgery on shoulder/chest injury

Snyman sustained the setback in South Africa’s decider win against New Zealand.

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Meanwhile, Calvin Nash will be assessed by the Munster medical team after a knee injury saw him withdrawn from Saturday night’s win against the Dragons.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.

Tadhg Beirne, Dave Kilcoyne, Jeremy Loughman, Conor Murray and Peter O’Mahony have rejoined their Munster team-mates following their World Cup involvement with Ireland.

Craig Casey and Jack Crowley featured for the first time this season on Saturday after returning to training last week.

    He is 32 has had a good career with maybe a couple of years left, no player is going to say no to a reported 600k a week. At the end of the day it is a profession, and if you are offered crazy money for easier work wherever it may be then you would take it.

    Tevez comes from complete poverty, as do most South Americans. To suggest they are all about money cause they accept huge pay deals is laughable. Most people take a better deal if offered. Why not?

    12 hour flight from shanghai to Buens Aires. Not much different from Europe. He wasnt doing much for Boca anyway. Saw a lot of games he played in last year and he was more of a hindrance than a help to thise around him. Others often gave him the ball and didnt take responsibility for themselves. Lots of south americans because nearly all the top attackers are from there and they are used to living abroad.
