    Handré Pollard. The statistics speak for themselves... 1. 2015, he makes his RWC debut. With 93 points, he ends up being the top points scorer. And earns the bronze medal ( SA ended 3rd during the 2015 RWC ). 2. He wins the 2019 RWC, scoring 22 points in the Final. 3. He wins the 2023 RWC, scoring all 12 points for SA in the Final. His kicking during the 2023 RWC is impeccable : 13/13. 4. The most incredible statistic : he is a bronze medallist, and double ( back-to-back nogal ) gold medallist at only the age of 29. Legend.

    Pollard is the best fly half of his generation, we have had Morne’ Steyn and Naas Botha who could kick a drop goal from anywhere. All these Fly halves were the best of their generation.

    POLLARD great admiration to him, the very best rugby player, an Icon.
    His contribution, the best kicker and player contributed highly in winning the World cup. Such a nice well mannered guy.
    Love you Pollard.

      Remember Naas Botha? Absolute Rugby Genius. Naas used to say “If a team won the Currie Cup once - they were not champions - a team must carry on winning year after year - then you are a Champion Team eg Northern Transvaal.” The Springboks - under Rassie - are true WCC - 8 attempts - 4 Gold Medals and 2 Bronze Medals. Now that is outstanding. 75% (Let us not forget all the political interference from the ANC and quota players etc from that idiot Fikile - Minister of Sport - it surely could have been better?)

    The 86/87 backline with Botha and Gerber, were in my opinion a better backline than the 2023 backline. Had they played in the RWC87, they would have won....pity they were barred from playing!

    Sure Handre is a great 10. Three WC medals at 29 is a remarkable feature. At 1 stage the highest earner - but earlier in time, a player called Naas Botha - referred to as a rugby genius by Dr Danie Craven was better. Handre must concentrate on slotting drop goals as Naas did from all kickable positions - just as Handre is a WC winner - Naas was a Test Match winner. Modern and vintage day genuises for the Springboks. Well done boys. I respect you both greatly.

    I'm not old enough to have seen Naas play and appreciate what made him special, all I know is that in watching old clips it's very hard to respect the bright white shorts he always seemed able to maintain.
    Definitely not something that Polard has a problem with, seems like a more complete player by far, even if he isn't quite as good at controlling a game.

    Sorry gentlemen
    I disliked Naas Botha while he dominated WP and the domestic rugby scene. Since growing up and less biased and watching a program of his career highlights recently, I must admit no fly half comes near him. Doc Craven was right, he truly was a rugby genius. Kicked left and right footed. Used a leather ball, no kicking T. He was a freak. Finnish and klaar

    He surely is the best Springbok fly-half of his generation and the best in the world at a the moment IMO. He cross kicks are genius!
    But... Best Springbok fly-half ever? I don't think so.
    Based on games I watched from 1980 to present, here are my top 5:
    1. Naas Botha
    2. Handre Pollard
    3. Morne Steyn
    4. Henry Honibal
    5. Errol Tobias
    And if you go dig into the Springbok annals, he moves to no. 4 IMO
    1. Naas Botha
    2. Bennie Osler
    3. Piet Visagie
