Two-time World Cup-winning Springbok RG Snyman starts in the second row for Leinster against the Stormers in Saturday’s Vodacom URC clash at the Aviva Stadium.
Snyman, who scored twice in Leinster’s European cup win over Bath last week, will pack down in Dublin for what promises to be a huge test of the Irish giants’ 100% record this season.
Ireland hooker Dan Sheehan captains Leinster on his season debut, with Henry McErlean starting at fullback and James Lowe returning to the wing.
TEAM: Stormers get Bok champ boost
All Blacks star Jordie Barrett retains his place at inside centre after last week’s victory, while France prop Rabah Slimani and the powerful Max Deegan anchor the pack.
Leinster, who have won all nine of their matches in 2024-25 so far, have never lost to the Stormers at home – the only meeting between the teams in the Irish capital ended in a 22-22 draw in 2023.
