If CJ Stander’s barnstorming performance when Irish rugby restarted told us anything about the latest attempts to referee the breakdown it is that the poacher is now king.

Stander’s five turnovers for Munster against Leinster on August 22 may not have secured victory for Johann van Graan’s side but as the two teams prepare to meet again in tomorrow night’s Guinness PRO14 semi-final, Caelan Doris admitted he had occupied plenty of thought in the defending champions’ camp as to best negate the red scourge this time around.
