However, a play-off berth is far from nailed on for the Munstermen with Ospreys just two points behind them in fourth and Leinster breathing down their necks in fifth.
But Stander is not looking over his shoulder and is instead only looking up as he bids for a top-two finish in order to hand Munster the best possible chance of the making the GUINNESS PRO12 Final with a home final-four clash.
"We were delighted to get a bonus point and hopefully we can push on, win the next four games and see if we can get a bonus point here and there," Stander told the Irish Examiner.
"It was a good win to get the five points. There are a lot of teams at the same points level in the competition.
"The next four games are crucial to win and if we can get a bonus point - you don't get them always - it could be crucial.
"To get a home semi-final, to get back to Thomond Park again and have the crowd behind you would help a lot and then hopefully get into the Final."
