Munster's traveling contingent are out in force today as they take on Southern Kings this evening at 6.30pm in South Africa. For CJ Stander, it's a return to his homeplace, but Munster fans have been making themselves at home in Outeniqua Park.
The province tweeted out pictures of the crowd as they prepared for kick off:
Wow!!! Always wow....?

The Munster faithful even took the time to make up a special flag thanking South Africa for giving them Stander:
