RG SNYMAN is hoping his and Jordie Barrett’s southern hemisphere expertise can prevent Leinster’s European hopes going south again. Beaten finalists in the last three Champions Cup finals — as well as in 2019 — the South African and New Zealander have added some serious quality to Leo Cullen’s squad. And Springbok powerhouse Snyman — who has also played in Japan — believes the imports’ world view might be able to provide the missing ingredient in the recipe for success. The lock, 30, said: “You analyse different teams, you play a different style of rugby and that obviously all contributes to the player I am now. “The biggest thing I found was working under different coaches and with multiple people throughout seasons. “Like at the start when I did Japan over the Currie Cup season, I had a set of coaches at the Bulls and then a set of coaches in Japan, and then a set of coaches at the Boks. “So within one season, you work under three different styles of coaching. “You learn to be quite adaptable then and you obviously get three different perspectives around the game. “I feel like that was definitely beneficial to me.” And he feels those experiences can then be shared in the wider group. Snyman said: “The biggest thing out of all of that as well is just not being afraid to add your voice. “So if you do think of something or you do see something differently, just say it. “Because even if it does sound stupid in your head, somebody else might pick up something from that and it will just further a conversation. "That is obviously the biggest part of learning through the game. “Something that we do really well at Leinster are conversations in the analysis room, between players that play at international level, players that are still in the academy. “The bridge in experience gets crossed a little bit easier. You do learn from the younger guys as well. “Something I’ve come to learn here in Ireland, it’s very structured. "Guys are focused a lot on that and then you go into that pattern a bit more. “Obviously I’ve been in Ireland a little bit longer and then when a guy like Jordie comes in, he looks at things a little bit differently as well. “Even Tyler Bleyendaal, he coaches a different style. He has maybe a bit more of a, ‘Look up, play what you see in front of you’. “I just think if you bring all those conversations and all of those points of view to the table, it makes the squad we have now, it obviously brings the best out of all of us.” Of course, it helps when Leinster also have talents such as Dan Sheehan in their ranks with Snyman — who has extended his contract with the province — a big fan. Snyman said: “He’s an unbelievable rugby player. Every session I’m out there, every game we play together, you just see something new from him. “He’s a brilliant all-round game from a hooker. He has great feet, good speed, he’s well able to make tackles and move the ball. He’s probably one of the best.” Between them, they should be able to take care of Glasgow Warriors in Friday’s quarter-final at the Aviva. But Snyman warned: “Glasgow are a very good side, very well coached. "The things they do in attack, there’s not many other teams that can replicate that or even come close. We are looking at that and need to be at our best.”
