Cheeky.
Springboks lock RG Snyman faced his old club Munster for the first time on Saturday evening since leaving them to join their arch-rivals Leinster.
The towering lock spent four seasons at Munster, helping them to a URC title in 2023, and a top-of-the-table finish last season. But he spent much of his time at the southern province on the treatment table with various issues.
He made his debut for Leinster last week in their win over Benetton before lining out against Munster in front of a record crowd at Croke Park, playing a pivotal role in the win for his new club, even getting on the scoresheet with a try.
Snyman was booed by the Munster fans when his name was called out before the game and once again when he was substituted. Even former teammate Mike Haley got in on the disdain with a rather cheeky gesture post-match.
Not the result any Munster fan wanted, but at least we got this moment from Mike Haley at the end 😂#LEIvMun #BKTURC pic.twitter.com/Hdw4gdHTff

It was all fun and games though as the pair hugged an embraced afterward!
