Leinster drop Snyman for Sharks duel
03/28/2025 08:36 AM
Two-time Springbok world champion RG Snyman and All Blacks star Jordie Barrett have been left out of the Leinster match-day 23 to face the Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
Snyman, who has featured regularly since his move from Munster, misses out after starting in last week's round 13 Vodacom URC loss to the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus.
On Thursday, Leinster announced that the 30-year-old lock had signed a contract extension with the club.

Utility back Barrett, on a six-month sabbatical from the Hurricanes, has scored four tries in seven appearances for the Irish giants, including one in Pretoria.
Leinster academy scrumhalf Fintan Gunne earns his first start, lock Alan Spicer could debut off the bench while Max Deegan captains the side, as Leo Cullen's men look to bounce back from their first loss in the URC this season.
