Springbok out-half Handre Pollard won’t be expecting miracles of himself when he returns to the national side for the first time in over a year this Sunday.

The starting ten when South Africa won the World Cup in 2019, Pollard has been cursed by injury lately. The Pool B meeting with Tonga will be his first for the Boks since August of 2022 and only his second run of any kind since May because of a calf problem.
