Snyman, who suffered a concussion in the quarter-final win over Glasgow Warriors, is among the four players who missed the semi-final against Leinster confirmed to be fit for the grand final in Cape Town.
The 28-year-old second rower was influential when Munster claimed an upset victory to end the Stormers’ winning streak at home last month, which was his first Vodacom URC start of the season.

The four players have been included in a 30-player squad that will depart for Cape Town on Monday and arrive on Tuesday. Former Stormers lock Jean Kleyn and Irish flyhalf Ben Healy have also been included in the squad, as they are due to complete return-to-play protocols this week after being removed during the semi-final.Dave Kilcoyne, Jeremy Loughman, Josh Wycherley; Diarmuid Barron, Niall Scannell, Scott Buckley; Stephen Archer, Roman Salanoa; Tadhg Beirne, Jean Kleyn, RG Snyman, Fineen Wycherley; Gavin Coombes, John Hodnett, Alex Kendellen, Jack O’Donoghue, Peter O’Mahony.
