[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 957160, member: 40658"] I think we've discussed the CJ Stander issue quite a lot in the past. But I cannot completely agree with what CJ is saying in Ireland about why he wasn't picked. He was a youngster at the Bulls, and wasn't completely settled in his position as first choice as we had at that time 2 3 other players in the Bulls squad who were all Springboks. He felt that it's not happening soon enough, so he went to Ireland. But here's where it gets even more dodgy. He got his regular positioning spot while there were South Africans as part of the coaching team at Munster. Would that have been the case if no other South African was there to hold his hand?? We'll never know. But CJ isn't being completely honest with the Irish public either. Yes he is now part of the community, and yes he's put roots down there, that happened because of his situation. But CJ still comes to SA, he still misses things and places about SA, he still has family here. [/QUOTE]
