Handr Pollard is a hero to many Springbok fans for his incredible goal-kicking in last years Rugby World Cup.

But the Bok No 10 actually began his career as a running flyhalf who took on defences with ball in hand.

His trademark move was to dummy-pass to the inside and take the outside gap, and he scored some fine tries in that way most notably against the All Blacks at Ellis Park in 2014, and Scotland at Murrayfield in 2018.

But, of course, his unerring boot has taken him a long way in Test rugby, with his deadly accuracy playing a major part in both the 2019 and 2023 World Cup triumphs.

Pollard is poised to overtake Morn Steyn as the third-highest Bok points-scorer in Saturdays Rugby Championship showdown with Argentina in Santiago del Estero (11pm start, SA time).
