The Untold Handré Pollard Story
Manage episode 388463196 series 3442172
Handré Pollard was built for World Cups. By the time he was 21, he’d already starred in
3 Junior World Cups for the Baby Boks. 5 years later, he scored 22 points in the World Cup final, as the Springboks romped to a third World Cup victory.
4 years after that, he wasn’t in the original squad to defend South Africa’s title in France due to calf injury, but joined the team at later in the tournament in dramatic circumstances.
Pollard’s kicking in the final was nothing short of a masterclass, as the Springboks won the World Cup yet again. From ordinary beginnings in small town South Africa, to the biggest stage in rugby, this is the untold story of the best kicker in the world.
