Leinster ease RG Snyman injury concerns after early exit against Ulster

Snyman came off the bench early in the second half, replacing starting lock Joe McCarthy in the 52nd minute, but lasted just 18 minutes before returning to the sidelines.

The World Cup winner was seen icing his leg during the match as Leinster surged to a 41-17 victory over their Irish rivals, raising concerns about his availability going forward.

However, Cullen has eased fears, stating that the Springbok star had simply suffered a dead leg, and with Leinster up 24-10 at the time, they did not want to risk a serious injury and took him off as a precaution.

"We [the coaches] were like, who are we going to bring on for him but he just got a bit of a dead leg," the Leinster boss explained after the match.

"So we said we'd take him off and the lads are getting into him inside the changerooms, so no he's fine.

Snyman was the only injury concern for Leinster, who claimed yet another five league points as they head into their final three matches of the regular season with meetings against Scarlets, Zebre and Glasgow Warriors, with an Investec Champions Cup semi-final against Northampton also on the way.
