Profile
The Durban-born Force stalwart has a hard nose style of play and is excellent at taking possessions and providing an intimidating presence around the field after playing a primarily back up role in previous years. Stander has taken on more of a leading role after proving himself by winning the NRC Best Player and the Nathan Sharpe Medal in 2018. Stander continued his strong form in 2019 as part of the club’s NRC title-winning campaign and played a key role in our 2020 Super Rugby AU season, which resulted in a call up to the initial Wallabies training squad. With 65 Force caps to his name, including 50 Super Rugby caps, Stander is an influential figure at the club.
