Before he departs Munster at the end of the season, RG Snyman wants to perform his "party trick" on Peter O'Mahony.
The two-time World Cup winner, who joined Munster in the summer of 2020, likes to rip expensive t-shirts on nights out.
"The list is a bit long," Snyman told the Rugby Pod when asked which Munster teammates have been his victims.

"If I try to rip Pete's shirt, that's going to be my toughest one yet. I'll give it a go and report back.
"It is my party trick. Some guys like to down a pint fast. I do give the guys a heads-up because I tear my own shirt first. If you see me tearing my shirt, run."
Snyman says it was "tough" telling his Munster teammates that he will be joining Leinster next season. Former South African head coach Jacques Nienaber being part of the Leinster backroom team played a major role in Snyman's decision.

"In the end, no one [with Munster] was really upset with me about it - no one in the building," he said.
"The guys were very understanding of it. It's very professional from their side to understand it because it could have gone the other way.
"The fact that Jacques is there played a big role for me going to Leinster.
"Myself and my wife really enjoy our time in Ireland. She's got a job here. It was a difficult decision to make but it was an easy one for the two of us, being able to stay in Ireland and just head up the road to Dublin and play with Leinster.
"Obviously, Leinster, their reputation speaks for itself. Then you throw in the fact that Jacques is there on top of that, it only makes sense."
"In certain cases, you get great coaches that understand the game really well and they push that side of things. They miss a bit of the human element to things.
"On the other side, you get coaches that just want to be your friend but they lack the rugby knowledge. That's where Jacques is such a special guy. He actually looks at the individual as well as trying to better the guy as a rugby player.
"That's why guys have so much respect for him. You don't feel like you are just another number to him. He looks at you and makes you believe in what he does and what he stands for. That just brings the best out of everyone."

After winning last year's World Cup, Snyman underwent surgery on an injury he sustained during the final against the All Blacks.
"It is quite a difficult thing to deal with, especially when you're part of something that's the highlight of your career and then you come back and you can't play for your club and you're injured again, which is even worse," he said.
"Mentally, the guys here [in Munster] have looked after me really well, kept me sane a bit and kept me part of the group really well. Mentally, it's going very well.
"I really want to finish the season strongly with Munster. It is a sensitive thing for me because I want to give back to Munster what they gave me over the last couple of years. I really just want to get back on the field as soon as possible and give it my all for the last part of the season."
