Springbok RG Snyman – affectionately known as the “Viking” is celebrating his club Leinster’s United Rugby Championship title win after beating the Bulls over the weekend.
The Irish club beat the Pretoria team 32 -7 in Dublin on Saturday, 14 June.
The tallest player in the South African team has played in Ireland – at both Munster and Leinster – for the past five years. He was recently named the URC’s Players’ Player of the Season.

IRELAND IS HIS SECOND HOME
RG Snyman – nicknamed the “Viking” – moved to Ireland in 2020 when he signed with the Munster Club. Last year, Snyman signed with the rival Irish club of Leinster. He has been living abroad for the past five years, making him eligible for residency.
However, the Springbok has declined the offer.
Speaking to the Irish Independent, RG Snyman says he signed to Leinster ahead of the 2024/2025 season as his family were “settled” in the country.
“I’m enjoying the culture in Ireland and the people . . . that’s why we really wanted to stay”, he added.
