CJ Stander’s dream comes true as George cheers one of their own

CJ Stander said that it will be a dream come true this evening when he leads Munster out on the pitch where he played as a child in South Africa.

Stander was only 12 when he last played at Outeniqua Park in George and never envisaged he would play on his local pitch when he left the Bulls and decided to head to Ireland to further his career.

“No, not a chance. When I left I never thought I was going to play in South Africa. I never thought in my life I was going to play in George. That dream was out the door when I left here as a kid.
