Munster's World Cup winning second row RG Snyman

RG SNYMAN is the solitary Munster Rugby player that is in the South African squad that plays New Zealand in the Rugby Championship on Saturday.

The burly second row/flanker is among the replacements picked by Jacques Nienaber as they bid to beat the All Blacks in Auckland. Jean Kleyn, who made his Springbok debut in the win over Australia last time out, is not part of the 23-man squad.

Former Red Army centre Damian de Allende is named in the starting lineup by Nienaber, former defensive coach at Munster and soon to be Leinster coach. Incoming Ulster prop Steven Kitshoff begins in the front row for South Africa. The match has an 8.05am start on Saturday morning.
