While his time at Munster may have been plagued with disruptions, RG Snyman has had little trouble settling into life in blue, recording two tries and a man-of-the-match award in his opening three games for the province.
Both the man-of-the-match award and a try came in Snyman's emphatic performance in Galway on Saturday night, where he drove Leinster to a 33-12 win over Connacht.
In their fifth-round interprovincial clash, Leinster travelled to Galway hoping to continue their unbeaten start to the season and end the second-half scoring woes that had plagued them in previous games.
On a blustery night in Connacht, they did just that, finding the whitewash three times in the opening forty, before sealing the bonus point win with two more second-half tries.

RG Snyman delivers tongue-in-cheek response to brilliant try celebration
While questions were raised when Leinster signed RG Snyman from Munster this summer, the South African has paid them back in dividends, with his incredible ball-handling skills beyond the gain line adding another element of clinical attack to Cullen's side.
Saturday's win over Connacht was no different, when the former Munster star proved his worth, turning a Jamison Gibson Park try-line blunder into a five-point bonus with an incredible piece of ball handling.

While the try itself would've been plenty for the travelling Leinster support, Snyman treated fans at The Sportgrounds to an even better celebration, delivering a brilliant Spiderman impersonation, peeling the ball out of his hand with his boot.
Speaking after the game, a jubilant Snyman joked about the celebration claiming he couldn't get the ball off his hand.
I couldn't really get the ball out of my hand.
I was just trying to get rid of it, I'm very aware of the shot clock.
Snyman's celebrations come off the back of three strong performances that have seen the South African hailed for his impressive handling skills.
This weekend's try is the second time in two weeks Snyman has taken social media by storm with this incredible lineout catch during last week's Croke Park clash between Leinster and Munster earning him plaudits as well.

While it's still early days, RG Snyman's contributions to Leo Cullen's side have been nothing short of exemplary so far.
Leinster fans will be hoping that just like Brad Thorn all those years ago, RG Snyman proves to be the missing ingredient Leinster need to get over the line this year.
