South African climate will heat up Reds for Bordeaux

It will be a special occasion for CJ Stander to play in his hometown George on Saturday, says Munster coach Johann van Graan.

Indeed, the celebrations can start early for the South African, as today is his 28th birthday.

However, van Graan warned that all that matters at this stage is that Munster copperfasten their PRO14 playoff place and not get side-tracked by anything, including the upcoming Champions Cup semi-final against Racing 92.
