Springboks fly half Handre Pollard a doubt to face Pumas

  • ESPN Staff,




    • South Africa could be without fly-half Handre Pollard for Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against Argentina in Durban.


    The fly-half picked up a knock to the head in their loss against the All Blacks and is going through the requisite return-to-play protocols. If Pollard fails in his bid for fitness, then Morne Steyn or Pat Lambie are expected to slot into the No.10 jersey.

    "Handre passed the head injury assessment during the game and immediately after, but then two days later there were signs of what we called delayed concussion," said Springboks doctor Craig Roberts. "So we will only know later in the week, after further tests are carried out, whether he will be available for selection."


    While Pollard is a doubt, there is better news for Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer who is set to have available a number of players who were previously sidelined. Jean de Villiers, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Fourie du Preez, Jan Serfontein, Stephen Kitshoff and Willem Alberts are all set to be available while Vincent Koch, Warren Whiteley, Trevor Nyakane and Marcell Coetzee have an outside chance of featuring against the Pumas.

 On the positive side if he can't play it will help someone else be ready for the RWC.

 This useless brainless one does not realize that if Morne did not F#ck up first - whatever happened after Morne's BS would never have happened.   So Morne's missed penalty line kick was the key.    Standard Morne disaster - he tried desperately to lose two tests against Argentina.   In Pretoria nearly succeeded after a charge - down kick by Morne,  but for a desperate successful attempt by De Allende to prevent an almost certain try being scored by Bosch.   A bugger-up nearly caused a loss for SA jin the away test against Argentina - that time he kicked the ball directly into touch and put SA on the back foot  well within the Springbok's half of the field    A penalty or drop goal and we lose.  Three major bugger-ups in three matches and even Meyer could not take it anymore, so Morne has not played for SA after that.

M orné is ready, there is no need to start a flub who has done nothing for six shameful years. Lambie shouldn't have had one cap to his name. Cheapest 40+ caps in Bok history.

 Morne is never ready - he is a guaranteed predictable disaster for any team he played for.

I'd that why he holds more records than any other SA 10? Is the most highly decorated and successful 10 in South African rugby history? 
Morné has won every competition he has played in, aside from the senior World Cup. Lambie has two Tin Cups and. After botching the Saders playoff game, lost the Aussie test, humiliated us on the EOYT and made another tragic showing against NZ, one would expect you to be much less vocal. Especially after you predicted failure for Morné in France and success for Goosen. How did it all go so horribly wrong Michael?
