David Harte retains FIH’s World Goalkeeper of the Year status

It’s unlikely that David Harte and CJ Stander have ever met, but these two very different sportsmen share an unusual distinction.

The former is a man of Munster, the latter one of its adopted sons.

Stander’s consistency on the rugby field and the regularity with which he hoovers up individual honours has led to the tongue-in-cheek renaming of those as ‘The CJ Stander Man of the Match Awards’.
