CJ Stander has firmly declared "I'm an Irishman" ahead of this weekend's game between his old team and South Africa, the country of his birth. He can understand, though, why Jean Kleyn has switched an Irish jersey for one of the Springboks.

A recent South African rugby podcast say hosts Mark Keohane and Zelim Nel refer to Jean Kleyn and R.G Snyman as 'Munster monsters' and declared the 'best locks in Irish rugby'. This Saturday, at Stade de France, both giant forwards will be on the South Africa bench and will both get minutes against Ireland.

Stander, who trained and played with both men at Munster, has told his old Ireland teammates what to expect.
