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.

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.
