RG Snyman has been named the 2024-25 Vodacom URC Players’ Player of the Season.
The Bok lock has been a key figure for Leinster following his switch from rivals Munster.
Snyman helped his side to top of the table in the regular season, with his offload game in particular being pivotal to the Irish province.
“A threat all over the park,” said one player. “Strong in the set piece and has a unique skillset which makes him very tough to play against.”
“We’re lucky to have you on our side this year!”

Meanwhile, Zebre Parma’s Massimo Brunello has been named URC Coach of the Season. The award is voted for by the league’s head coaches.
Brunello has transformed Zebre this season, leading them to victories over Munster, Ospreys and Dragons at home, as well as famous away wins against Ulster and Edinburgh.
Their away against Ulster ended a four-year wait for a victory on road, and was backed up the following week with another win away against Edinburgh.
Previous winners of this award include Graham Rowntree last season, and Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith in 2022-23.
