[QUOTE="Megelus, post: 6953170, member: 44408"] Did Stander become an Irish citizen? Joe Schmidt and Richardt Strauss both got citizenship some years back. I can find comments relating to him planning to do it back in 2017 and his wiki page(grain of salt) says he is South African-Irish but can't see any reporting stating that he got it. He was made an honorary Limerick man and city ambassador if that helps... At the end of the day he spent 9 years and 156 games with Munster, don't begrudge him a return home. Citizenship allows for some wiggle room where is a legitimate case for a foreign born player, for example, Adeolokun was born in Nigeria but moved here at 11, there should be a means for him to qualify for Ireland. Wouldn't have any issue with residency laws being removed and just leave it as something like citizenship and the granny rule but until that time comes... play to the whistle [/QUOTE]
