CJ Stander stepped back on Irish soil with wife Jean-Marie over the weekend as the former Ireland international was in Dublin to see the Irish take down world champions South Africa.
It was a clash of two international sides close to the former flanker's heart; despite hailing from South Africa, Stander declared for Ireland back in 2015 after a move to Munster saw him qualify for the national side based on residency.
He went on to win 51 caps for Ireland before retiring in 2021; aged just 32, his retirement from the game shocked many in the rugby world but he reasoned at the time that he wanted to move back to South Africa and commit himself to raising his daughter alongside wife Jean-Marie.
