Watching Tadhg Beirne and RG Snyman’s remarkable second-row partnership flourish must be bittersweet for Munster fans, as it will soon come to an end.

Having two such world-class players would improve any team, but their ability to get the best out of one another, all the while continuing to do what they do best themselves, is a key reason why Munster have put themselves in such a great position to defend their URC title.
