AMAZING : WATCH RG Snyman delivers a brilliant Spider-man celebration after FREAKISH Leinster try
Springboks lock RG Snyman was in sensational form for Leinster on Saturday evening in the United Rugby Championship clash against Connacht.
The powerhouse lock pulled out his full box of tricks as he powered through tackles and got the offload with supreme ease.
The double World Cup winner looks set to earn a recall to the Springboks squad ahead of the Autumn Nations Series but this weekend, the Leinster faithful will have been fully enjoying seeing the Bok star in action.
Spiderman Snyman
Even more so when he crossed the whitewash in the 39th minute of the interpro derby against Connacht.
His try was a swift response to Sean O’Brien’s five-pointer for Connacht as the Leinster second rower channelled his inner Spider-man in the manner in which scored and celebrated the try.
Fullback Hugo Keenan was brought to the ground just short of the try line by an excellent tackle by Shayne Bolton with his teammates disrupting the Leinster breakdown. This forced the error from scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park who fumbled the ball backwards.
However, Snyman was quick to swoop, scooping the ball up effortlessly with one hand and spun over the line. After completing the try, the Springboks forward reenacted Toby Maguire’s antics pretending that the ball was stuck to his hand before forcing it free with his foot.
As mentioned above, Snyman is bound to earn a recall to Rassie Erasmus’ Springboks squad for the November Tests against Scotland, Wales and England after missing the Rugby Championship through injury.
His return to full fitness will be a major boost for the Boks who are set to be without Franco Mostert who broke his leg in the Test series against Ireland. Fellow lock Salmaan Moerat has also been ruled out through injury, while Snyman’s former
Munster teammate Jean Kleyn will also provide a timely boost for the Boks.
