Handré Pollard's boot played a vital role in helping the Springboks clinch the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
We look at how he scored all of his 69 points to become the tournament's top points-scorer.

I like many players, but if I should pick only one favorite, it'd be Pollard. He's the perfect 10 without any glaring weakness. Great boot, long distance too, great distribution skills, great in the air, he's got a howitzer of a spin pass, he's able to take the ball to the line and run through gaps himself, which makes him less predictable, and he's got great size to him. I became an instant fan during the 2015 RWC, where he shone at the age of 21, outplaying many senior flyhalves. That tournament showed us, that his amazing TRC performance against the All Blacks in 2014 (the best game of rugby I have ever seen) was no fluke. Rugby is a sport, where the team with more points wins. In 2019, Pollard topped the scoring of EVERY competition he took part in (Super Rugby, The Rugby Championship, Rugby World Cup), while winning both TRC and RWC, thus writing history. How was he not nominated for the Player of the Year is beyond my comprehension. At 25 years of age, Pollard has already unlocked legendary status, having won both junior and senior RWC.

I learnt a lot here - thanks for the great post! (always been a fan of his, but I didn't know he topped so many tables last year)

Handre “I love crashball Pollard”...no flyhalf takes tries to break the lines and runs at defences like this man! He loves it!

He's the closest we have to Carter in SA. I liked this guy when he was under age playing with the U20's as a 17yearold. Great temperement. Composed. A man beyond his years. Only 25 aswell. He will be at the next RWC.

He was one of the most consistent players in the world cup, he turned up in every game he played in and played so hard not only he's kicking, he ran so hard at the defence bracking the lines and creating tries💪🇿🇦

I have always been aware of his value as a player. I knew that if he didn't play a part in the playoffs, we wouldn't win the world cup.

@t.bozmkw3562 5 ай бұрын

I told guys in 2015 that this man is the closest we have to Dan Carter in SA. I was ridiculed and they attacked his consistency disregarding the fact he has been playing above his age group since he was 16.
