The union has confirmed that Stander did not make medical staff aware of the nature or extent of his injury. “CJ is a big boy now, he is well able,” said Peter O’Mahony of his teammate’s injury. “I’m not going to sit here and pick the team but Seanie O’Brien, the name alone speaks for itself,” said O’Mahony. Dan Leavy would be another but he hasn’t joined up with the squad as he continues his own return to full fitness having been omitted from the Six Nations squad. The wing-cum-full-back has returned to Munster where he will continue rehab on a tight calf which became apparent in training last Thursday.
