Munster powerhouse CJ Stander is reportedly set for a shock exit this summer after receiving a big money offer for his services.
Speaking on The42.ie podcast, former Dragons head coach Bernard Jackman revealed that the Ireland number 8 could be set to depart.
“I spoke to a French agent last week and he was of the opinion that CJ was going to Bordeaux — or that Bordeaux were making a serious play for him.”
“I don’t know any more than that but he’s a top player and Bordeaux are a great club. They’re very ambitious and I think they’re about to lose two eights from their current roster.
“I don’t know if he’s been talking to them or anything like that but, certainly, Bordeaux have a huge interest in CJ,” Jackman said.
