RG Snyman ruled out of Sharks clash

Munster lock RG Snyman has been ruled out of Saturday's URC match against the Sharks in Durban.

The Springbok was a star performer for Munster in their 26-24 win over the Stormers in Cape Town last week.

But he suffered a head injury in the game at Cape Town Stadium and Munster announced on their official website that the lock forward "will follow the return to play protocols and is unavailable for Saturday's game".

Munster added that hooker Diarmuid Barron (neck) has settled well and will return to full team training. He scored a brace of tries against the Stormers.

Prop Dave Kilcoyne will increase his training load and his availability will be determined later in the week.
