CJ Stander: Anthony Foley pushed me to the next level

It was not just the pre-game tribute to Anthony Foley that inspired Ireland to victory over the All Blacks.

For CJ Stander, memories of the late Munster head coach were with the flanker throughout a jaw-droppingly dramatic Test match in Chicago.

Three weeks on from Foley’s sudden death related to a heart condition at the age of 42, there was another day of remarkable emotion for Irish rugby, as the memory of a fallen hero received a further, wonderful tribute at Soldier Field.
