He went on to attend the esteemed Paarl Gimnasium school, which boasts a notable alumni roster that includes rugby legends Schalk Burger and Jean de Villiers.

Handre Pollard is currently a key player for the Springboks, serving as the team’s first five-eighth. He also holds contracts with the Blue Bulls and a French team, highlighting his rising reputation in the rugby world.

He spent five weeks in a Pretoria hospital receiving urgent care and treatment. Fortunately, this setback did not hinder his impressive statistics and career trajectory.
