RG Snyman could face the Vodacom Bulls for the first time after being named in Munster’s squad for their two-game URC tour of South Africa.

Due to a viral illness, Snyman missed Munster’s last two games – against Cardiff in the URC and the Champions Cup last 16 clash with Northampton Saints.

The Springbok lock has recovered and travelled with Munster to South Africa on Monday for the Vodacom URC games against the Bulls and Lions.

Snyman has yet to face the Bulls since leaving his boyhood club, due to his injury nightmare in 2021 and 2022.

The 29-year-old started his career in Pretoria and made 49 Super Rugby appearances for the Bulls before joining Munster after the 2019 World Cup.

Munster have, otherwise, brought a strong squad to South Africa, as the defending champions battle to secure a home playoff.

Fresh from signing a new one-year contract, veteran loose forward Peter O’Mahony will lead Munster on tour, while prop Oli Jager and wings Shane Daly and Calvin Nash have recovered from knocks to be part of the 30-player squad.

Ireland internationals Tadhg Beirne, Gavin Coombes, Craig Casey, Conor Murray, Joey Carbery, Jack Crowley and Simon Zebo are also part of the squad.

Forwards: Scott Buckley, Eoghan Clarke, Niall Scannell, Stephen Archer, Mark Donnelly, Oli Jager, Jeremy Loughman, Josh Wycherley, Tom Ahern, Tadhg Beirne, RG Snyman, Fineen Wycherley, Gavin Coombes, John Hodnett, Alex Kendellen, Jack O’Donoghue, Peter O’Mahony.
Backs: Craig Casey, Ethan Coughlan, Conor Murray, Joey Carbery, Jack Crowley, Antoine Frisch, Alex Nankivell, Rory Scannell, Shane Daly, Mike Haley, Calvin Nash, Sean O’Brien, Simon Zebo.
