Peter O’Mahony paid tribute to a selfless professional and incredible team-mate as he reacted to the news that fellow Munster and Ireland back-rower CJ Stander is set to retire at the end of this season.

A team-mate in his province for nine years since the South African joined Munster from the Blue Bulls in 2012 and with Ireland following Stander’s qualification to represent his adopted country under residency rules in 2016, O’Mahony also toured New Zealand with his friend as British & Irish Lions tourists in 2017.
