[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 512597, member: 13611"] I don't see where the problem lies with a 21/22 year old wanting to travel while he has no family ties while earning a shed load of money. How is this much different to, say, Juandre Kruger who developed over in England with Northampton, earned himself a good wage and went back to South Africa becoming an international. Stander is a good signing for Munster. I hope he plays brilliantly and puts himself in the reckoning for Springbok selection. At the moment, he's down the pecking order and may only pick up token, one off caps for his country so moving is a calculated gamble on his part.. Munster have him in their "project player" spot because they've used up their NIQ allocation for next season (Doug Howlett, Casey Laulala, Wian du Preez, BJ Botha). He's only signed a 2 year deal by which stage he still won't be qualified to play for Ireland. I suspect he'll return to SA in 2014 and try put himself in contention for the 2015 World Cup squad.
