Stephen Ferris has praised CJ Stander for choosing the right time to retire with Ireland’s back-row talent pool at its deepest. So he’s going to be leaving Irish and Munster rugby and I don’t think it’s going to have a huge impact on Ireland’s progress going forward. I think he’s the type of guy that wants to leave Irish rugby in a good place and at the minute it is in a good place. “I don’t think he’s a one-trick pony. I don’t think he’s a guy that’s going to light up a PRO14 season and then disappear.
