Lock RG Snyman of the Springboks recovered from his injury after “two years from hell” and made an impact at the global Cup, helping the “bomb squad” lead South Africa to an unprecedented fourth global title.

Snyman, however, has “suffered a chest/shoulder injury during the World Cup final and will undergo surgery in South Africa this week,” according to an update released by his Irish side Munster on Monday.

There is no timeline as yet regarding how long it will take him to recover, but it does appear that the towering lock will once again be on the sidelines for at least several weeks.

RG SNYMAN ON THE SPRINGBOK TEAM ACHIEVING WORLD CUP SUCCESS

In an interview with Jim Hamilton following the World Cup, Snyman disclosed that being a member of the squad and the Springboks team was an extremely difficult experience for him.

“To return here, I truly had to go above and above. Joining this group and team is unique in and of itself, but performing on the grandest stage is something else entirely.

Snyman continued, “It is such a great accomplishment for all of us to have this [medal] around our necks tonight.”

Snyman added that when the match came to a close, the Springboks players were all tense and kept their eyes on the timer.

“We were just incredibly relieved to succeed in the end.”
