Some men see an obstacle and turn back.
Some men see an obstacle and go around it.
Some men, like CJ Stander, see an obstacle and go through it.
It wasn’t the greatest first half for Ireland in the Millennium Principality Stadium, with Johnny Sexton giving us a fright and George North George Northing over for a try.
But before all that unpleasantness we had flanker Stander giving us another display of his sheer, brute strength. His leg drives could reverse the rotation of the earth. True story. It’s science.
George North may have scored but @CJStander's run was more impressive #WALvIRE pic.twitter.com/p05LGYxG6t

He made roadkill of a couple of Welsh defenders and the viewers loved it, seeing a little of a certain legendary All Black wrecking ball in the run.
