The talented flyhalf made his Currie Cup debut for the Bulls in 2014, a year after matriculating from Queen’s College. At 23, the Cradock-born pivot has been through the ranks and formed a formidable halfback combination with scrumhalf JP Smith at the Bulls. Stander represented Border before moving up north to Pretoria, playing for the FNB UP-Tuks side in the Varsity Cup. He was part of the squad that lifted the trophy earlier this year. He has represented the Bulls at under-19, U21, Vodacom Cup, Currie Cup Qualifiers, SuperSport Rugby Ndongeni (Linge); Bongukuhle Mguzulwa (QBBC) v Chumani Mekula (Fort Beaufort) and Sinethemba Mbebe (QBBC) v Sinethemba Ntandazo (Zizo).

Teacher in charge of the Interact Club, Antoinette van Greunen, said funds would be used mainly to buy food for two Hospices which the club suppor ted. “The race also afforded pupils the chance to relax as they prepare for their final exams. It is the first time that we are doing the race and we are hoping that it will become an annual event.” She thanked the traffic department Cape Town came at the right time, with current WP flyhalf Robert du Preez set to re-join the Sharks next season. Province’s other flyhalf Jean-Luc du Plessis is injured with South Africa U20 star Damien Willemse, although a huge talent, is still relatively inexperienced. Stander will provide the necessary fire power and depth in the crucial flyhalf position.

I started running in high school and I hope to make a provincial team.” Fellow pupil Isiphosethu Makongwana, who is also a member of the Interact Club, said it would be great to see the entire Komani community participating in the race. “It was a good way to get out and relax. We needed this break to unwind and have fun before going back to the books.” He will also add stability, physique and a different dimension to the Western Province backline. Ironically, his scrumhalf partner JP Smith have also changed alliance and moved to the Free State Cheetahs. Stander said this week, ”The change of scenery will be good for my career and rugby – I can only improve as a player and person. I have set high standards for myself and my aspirations is to play Super Rugby and ultimately play for the Springboks.” He said he was willing to fight for the No10 jersey at WP. “Nothing comes easy in life and at times one must make sacrifices and take the necessary steps to succeed.” He was thankful to his father, Trevor, and his agent for making sure the deal with Western Province was sealed. “I am grateful to my parents and family for their undying support. I want to encourage all aspiring rugby players of Queen’s College and Komani to never stop believing in their dreams. Dream big and keep working hard.”
