Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Irish club Munster said on Monday that Springbok lock RG Snyman<\/b> is expected to make his long-awaited return to action next month.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Munster said Snyman “is increasing his training load with a view to making his return in March”.<\/p>\n

Snyman, who has plied his trade at Munster since 2019, missed the Springboks’ year-end tour to Europe in November after a setback in his rehab.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has endured a horror injury run in recent years. Successive cruciate ligament injuries, as well as burns from a firepit accident, have seen him play just four games for Munster in two years. He also hasn’t played for the Boks since the 2019 World Cup.<\/p>\n

The latest news will comes as a boost for Snyman, as it’s the first time that Munster have provided a time frame for his return.<\/p>\n

He was actively involved in training drills in a video shared on Munster’s Twitter account on Monday.<\/p>\n
