Munster will arrive in Durban with their own World Cup-winning lock for the Champions Cup playoff against an Eben Etzebeth-powered Sharks on Saturday.
The Irish outfit confirmed on Tuesday that RG Snyman travelled with the squad to Durban for the last-16 clash against the Sharks.
Munster head coach Graham Rowntree hinted that Snyman was in contention to start this weekend, which could put the second rower on a collision course with fellow 2019 Springbok squad teammate Etzebeth.“The way our game has changed since he last played for us means he has had to get up to speed. He is obviously also coming back from injury, and he’s a huge man.
Munster go into the playoff on the back of a surprise home loss to Glasgow Warriors in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship.
