Handre Pollard is set to be fit and ready to go after he received a more promising second opinion on an injury that had threatened to rule him out for the rest of the year. 🏈springboks rugby
“The body is good. I am really coming along nicely. I’m just trying to get as much done as possible. I’ve still got a couple of boxes to tick,” said Pollard.“From the initial diagnosis we had in Australia, I’ve come back to London and got a different one, which was a lot more positive. I’m working hard and it’s really feeling good. So we will see how we go on from here.
“This is completely different. It’s a little bit of a tear in the meniscus. It’s a lot better than we originally thought and it’s going really well,” explained Pollard. “We’re still taking it day by day. We’ve still got a couple of boxes to tick but I am very excited and optimistic. I should be good to go for the Autumn series.”
Due to being released from the Bok squad earlier than expected, Pollard was able to get settled in Leicester sooner than estimated. “I didn’t expect to be here so soon. I got to settle in under calmer circumstances. My Mrs has been here for a few months now, she’s sorted out the house. I missed all the heavy lifting and the building of the cupboards and that’s been great,” said Pollard.
