Joshua Trevor Stander (born (1994-01-01)1 January 1994 in Cradock, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut Stormers in Super Rugby and Template:Rut Western Province in the Currie Cup and in the Rugby Challenge.[1] His regular position is fly-half.

Career

Youth

He went to school in Queenstown, where he earned a few call-ups to the youth sides of the Template:Rut Border Bulldogs. At primary school level, he was selected for the Border side that played at the 2007 Under-13 Craven Week competition. At high school level, he played for Queen's College and represented Border at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2010 and the Under-18 Craven Week in 2011. He was also eligible to play at the 2012 Craven Week, but was not picked as he had agreed to join the Pretoria-based Template:Rut Blue Bulls[2] and fell foul of a newly-adopted Border Rugby Football Union policy of not picking players for their Craven Week squad that already signed contracts with other unions.

He made just one appearance for the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19 side in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, playing off the bench and slotting a conversion in a 56-7 win against former side Template:Rut Border U19 in East London.[3]

He also played for the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U21 side in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship. His game against the Template:Rut Border U21 turned out to be a memorable one as he scored two tries and kicked twelve conversions for a personal points haul of 34 points as the Blue Bulls recorded a 143–0 win.[4]

Blue Bulls

His first class career started in the 2014 Vodacom Cup. After being an unused substitute in their matches against Template:Rut Griquas[5] and the Template:Rut Pumas,[6] he made his debut for the Template:Rut Blue Bulls in their match against the Template:Rut Leopards XV in Leeudoringstad, kicking two conversions in the match as they secured a 30–26 victory.[7] Further appearances followed in their matches against the Template:Rut Falcons[8] and the Template:Rut Griffons[9] before Stander scored his first career try against the Template:Rut Limpopo Blue Bulls, also slotting five conversions in the match despite only coming off the bench in the second half.[10]

He was included in the Template:Rut Blue Bulls' Currie Cup side for the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division and was named on the bench for their Round Three clash against the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings in Pretoria.[11] He did not make an appearance in that match, but was promoted to the starting line-up the following week for their match against Template:Rut Western Province after Tony Jantjies and Jacques-Louis Potgieter were ruled out due to injury and illness.[12]
