Overview
- Leinster confirmed Tuesday that RG Snyman ruptured the ACL in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season.
- Snyman was injured in a 38-17 URC loss at Scotstoun after a tackle by Glasgow lock Alex Samuel, and it is his third career ACL rupture after two left‑knee tears at Munster.
- Senior coach Jacques Nienaber called the setback devastating and said the loss hurts Leinster’s push in both the URC and the Champions Cup.
- Ahead of Sunday’s Champions Cup round‑of‑16 game against Edinburgh at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Andrew Porter is available, while James Ryan, Tadhg Furlong, Garry Ringrose and Jimmy O’Brien will be assessed.
- Typical ACL recoveries of six to nine months suggest Snyman is expected to miss most of South Africa’s 2026 schedule, including July tests and the All Blacks series.
