Big money to be made at Leinster by RG Snyman

The Irish Times website states that the two-time Rugby World Cup winner will be joining coach Leo Cullen’s team from Munster for the upcoming season. It is reported that Snyman will receive €500 000 (about R10 million) every season.

Snyman gave an explanation, saying, “My wife and I wish to stay in Ireland if feasible. We’ve settled incredibly well in Limerick since our arrival about four years ago.

 

“I was no longer able to choose to stay with Munster beyond June 2024. Until the end of the season, I will give Munster everything I have, both on and off the field.

“After giving each offer serious thought, I ultimately chose the Leinster opportunity. I accept the invitation in order to remain a member of a top-tier, high-performance rugby team. It permits my spouse and myself to remain in Ireland as well.

“I play rugby professionally. To ensure that I contribute value to any system that has faith in me enough to advance its goals, I must put in a great deal of effort.

I will continue to be pushed to the absolute maximum at Leinster in an effort to elevate both myself and, ideally, the team. That will be my only responsibility, and I’ll do all in my power to fulfill it as well as I can.

“I am incredibly appreciative of the chance to work with Jacques Nienaber once more. I express my gratitude to Leinster for making it possible.
