Springboks vs Argentina Rugby Championship
Meaning, he is set to return to Loftus and South Africa in one of the most highly-anticipated moves in world rugby. Not just right now, but of all-time.
The two-time Rugby World Cup champion has also won two Rugby Championships and a British & Irish Lions series winner. Moreover, he kicked one of the coldest winners in the history of World Rugby in 2023. With the Boks trailing 15-13 and under two minutes to go in a rainy and intense RWC semi final against the English in Paris, Pollard stepped up to kick the winner. Pressure is his daily breed. He is the epitome of cool, calm and collected so it is no surprise he has world rugby talking.
Therefore, we have another double Rugby World Cup winner returning to SA.
“Cobus is a premier talent and we are thrilled to have someone of his quality coming in to bolster our squad,” Stormers CEO Johan le Roux confirmed.
“While the primary focus will always be on developing local talent, it is also important that our coaching staff are on the look-out for strategic acquisitions at the top end of the game that will help take us forward,” he added.
