Lock for the Springboks, RG Snyman, will not play for Munster against Northampton Saints on Sunday in the Investec Champions Cup round of 16.
Snyman has missed a lot of time with Munster due to injury, but this time he is unable to play in the Irish province’s match due to illness.
Tom Ahern, who will now partner captain Tadhg Beirne, has taken the position of the second-rower in the starting lineup. Jack O’Donoghue has also joined the team as a replacement.
Another setback for Munster came when Shane Daly was knocked out during training. Simon Zebo moved to the left, and Seán O’Brien into the lineup on the right flank.
All of this follows John Ryan’s unsuccessful bid to overturn his punishment and game-day absence.
The appearance stats of RG Snyman
But in the wake of his most recent setback, a statistic that illustrates how injury-plagued his tenure at the Irish team has been has come to light.
Snyman joined Munster four years ago from Japanese team Honda Heat, and in the four years since then, he has played just thirteen times, with just one of those games occurring in the Investec Champions Cup.
Furthermore, he has never started a United Rugby Championship or Champions Cup game for Munster at Thomond Park. He has actually only made seven starts for the men in red overall.
