For the second year running CJ Stander looks set to be voted Irish Player of the Year. Whether it is IRUPA (players) or RWI (rugby writers) making that award, the adopted Munster man has been the epitome of consistency and our outstanding international player by a country mile. Conor Murray and Tadhg Furlong come closest, with Johnny Sexton also hitting top gear in his three games played.
