RG Snyman’s “X-Factor” has been lauded as a key reason he’s been named as the 2024/25 Players’ Player of the Season by his peers.
Snyman has been a key figure for Leinster this season following his switch from rivals Munster over the summer.
The towering lock helped his side to top of the table in the regular season. Snyman’s offload game in particular being pivotal to the Irish province.
Indeed, one fellow player applauded his “unique skillset” – branding him a “very tough” opponent.
“A threat all over the park. Strong in the set-piece and has a unique skillset which makes him very tough to play against.”
Previous winners of this award include Munster’s Jack Crowley last season; Leinster’s Dan Sheehan back in 2022/23 and DHL Stormers forward Evan Roos in 2021/22.
Snyman has been named on the Elite XV with fellow Leinster man Jamie Osborne. Whereas, Munster players Tom Farrell Craig Casey and Tadhg Beirne are also included.
