Christiaan Johan 'CJ' Stander (born 5 April 1990 in George, South Africa) is a South African rugby union footballer. He can play either as a Flanker or Number 8. He represented the Bulls in Super Rugby and the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup, and is currently playing for Irish province Munster in the Pro 12 and Heineken Cup.

Bulls

In his debut Super Rugby season for the Bulls, Stander played in the first 13 games, scoring 4 tries.[1]

Munster

2012–13

In June 2012, he signed a deal to join Irish province Munster on a two-year contract at the end of the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division season.[2][3] As Munster could not sign any more internationally capped players, he has been signed as a project player. This means that Stander would be eligible to play for Ireland under IRB residency laws if he stayed with Munster for three years. He arrived in Ireland to join up with the Munster squad on 30 October 2012.[4] Stander made his debut for Munster on 25 November 2012, coming on as a replacement in the Pro 12 fixture against Scarlets.[5] He made his first start for Munster against Glasgow Warriors in Thomond Park on 1 December 2012, scoring two tries in a Man-of-the-Match winning performance.[6] Stander was ruled out for a month after breaking a bone in his hand during the Glasgow game.[7] He made his comeback from the injury on 5 January 2013, in a Pro 12 game against Cardiff Blues in Musgrave Park. As he was ineligible to represent Munster in the Heineken Cup, Stander instead turned out for Munster A in the British and Irish Cup, playing at Number 8 against Aberavon RFC and Plymouth Albion, scoring a try against the latter.[8][9] Stander scored his third try in just four appearances for Munster on 9 February 2013, when he made his second start for the club against Edinburgh.[10]

2013–14

Stander scored his first try in his second season at Munster during an uncapped pre-season friendly against Gloucester Rugby on 24 August 2013.[11] He scored two tries in his first full appearance of the season, against Zebre, on 13 September 2013.[12] Stander made his Heineken Cup debut on 12 October 2013, coming off the bench against Edinburgh in Munster's opening pool game.[13] He came off the bench against Gloucester during Munster's 26-10 victory on 19 October 2013.[14] Stander was also a replacement during Munster's 36-8 win against USA Perpignan on 8 December 2013.[15] He came off the bench in the 7-20 away win against Gloucester on 11 January 2013, a win that secured quarter-final qualification.[16]

South Africa

He captained the South Africa Under-20 team that competed in the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship.[17] He was called up to train with the Springboks squad in June 2012, but was not part of the final squad.[18]

Personal life

Stander is married to Jean-Marié Neethling, the sister of South African olympic gold medalist Ryk Neethling.[19]
