More concussion worries for Munster's Bok lock RG Snyman

Springbok lock RG Snyman is an injury concern for Munster ahead of Saturday's URC semi-final against Leinster in Dublin.

Snyman was concussed in Munster's 14-5 away quarter-final win over Glasgow Warriors at the weekend.

He was forced off in the 20th minute and did not return after failing the Head Injury Assessment (HIA).

It's the second time in the past few weeks that Snyman suffered concussion, as he also picked up a head injury in their 26-24 win over the Stormers in Cape Town on 15 April. It saw him miss Munster's final round-robin clash against the Sharks in Durban.

The towering lock has also been plagued by knee injuries over the past few seasons.  

Apart from Snyman's injury, Munster will also be sweating on the availability of several key players.

Conor Murray, Calvin Nash, Malakai Fekitoa, Peter O'Mahony and Diarmuid Barron all suffered injuries against Glasgow and their availability appears to be in doubt.

So there’s a chance Munster go into a semi-final against Leinster without:-Diarmuid Barron-RG Snyman-Peter O’Mahony-Conor Murray-Malakai Fekitoa -Calvin NashWouldn’t put money on them, let’s put it that way
