RG Snyman: 'The main thing is to have a bit of fun out there'

RG Snyman is enjoying life as a Leinster player.

It's only been three games, but the South African already has two tries in blue, and a player of the match award to go along with it in his most recent outing, Saturday’s 33-12 win away to Connacht.

His try on Saturday was probably the most understated part of his performance across his 65 minutes on the pitch, as he reacted fastest to a loose ball to casually walk over the try-line and score, which helped push his team out to a 21-5 lead just before half time.

The celebration was arguably more impressive than the try, as he needed to use his foot to scrape the ball back out of his hands, such was the level of grip he had on it.

"I couldn't really get the ball out of my hand. I was just trying to get rid of it, I'm very aware of the shot clock," he laughed.
