Leinster’s Snyman set to be fit for Northampton semi

Before Saturday’s Investec Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton at the Aviva Stadium, RG Snyman’s fitness concerns have been addressed.

The Irish province announced on Monday that the former Munster forward had resumed full-time training in a squad update released by the province.

James Ryan, an Ireland lock who hasn’t played since the Six Nations, is still a big question as he recovers from a calf injury.

Leinster state that they will “look to increase his training load this week as he continues to recover from injuries and will be evaluated further as the week progresses.”

Nine days prior, Snyman was inserted in the URC victory over Ulster, but he was replaced midway through the first half.

Leinster’s team lost to the Scarlets over the weekend after Leinster indicated that he had a dead leg at the time.

Leinster confirmed that “RG Snyman has recovered from an injury and is now back in full training.”

Rob Russell’s recovery will be evaluated over the course of the week.

Will Connors suffered an arm injury against Scarlets, and he has been ruled out of the meeting with the English Premiership side despite playing the game at the weekend with no issues after returning from injury.
