Now back in the Springboks’ No 10 jersey, Handre Pollard is set to achieve a noteworthy milestone in Saturday’s Test against Argentina.
It’s almost certain that he will achieve this feat on Saturday, but there is still a long way to go until getting closer to Percy Montgomery, who leads with 893 points.It also shouldn’t be forgotten that Pollard is still only 30-year-old, but he admitted this week that he was also happy to be taking on a mentorship role at times.
“If we can help the young guys with one or two things, that’s great because we’re also learning a lot from them as well. Handre Pollard needs four points to overtake Morne Steyn and move into second place on the Springbok all-time scorers’ list. Percy Montgomery leads with 893 points. This will mark the first Test between the teams at Estadio Unico Madre Ciudades in Santiago del Estero.
