Joshua Trevor Stander (born 1 January 1994) is a South African professional rugby union player for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Super Rugby and [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the Currie Cup and in the Rugby Challenge. His regular position is fly-half.

Career

Youth

Stander went to school in Queenstown, where he earned a few call-ups to the youth sides of the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. At primary school level, he was selected for the Border side that played at the 2007 Under-13 Craven Week competition. At high school level, he played for Queen's College and represented Border at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2010 and the Under-18 Craven Week in 2011. He was also eligible to play at the 2012 Craven Week, but was not picked as he had agreed to join the Pretoria-based [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and fell foul of a newly-adopted Border Rugby Football Union policy of not picking players for their Craven Week squad that already signed contracts with other unions.

Stander made just one appearance for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, playing off the bench and slotting a conversion in a 56-7 win against former side [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in East London.

Stander also played for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship. His game against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] turned out to be a memorable one as he scored two tries and kicked twelve conversions for a personal points haul of 34 points as the Blue Bulls recorded a 143–0 win.

Blue Bulls

His first class career started in the 2014 Vodacom Cup. After being an unused substitute in their matches against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]], he made his debut for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in their match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Leeudoringstad, kicking two conversions in the match as they secured a 30–26 victory. Further appearances followed in their matches against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] before Stander scored his first career try against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]], also slotting five conversions in the match despite only coming off the bench in the second half.

Stander was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]' Currie Cup side for the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division and was named on the bench for their Round Three clash against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Pretoria. He did not make an appearance in that match, but was promoted to the starting line-up the following week for their match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] after Tony Jantjies and Jacques-Louis Potgieter were ruled out due to injury and illness.
