Pollard ... the best flyhalf we have ... supposedly ...

As a junior he was one of the best prospects I'd seen in a long time. 

I looked forward to seeing him grow into a world beater. He had the makings of giving Dan Carter a run for his money ... but that slowly faded and he ended up being just another average Joe.

It's just another story of wasted talent.

Have a look at this footage. This is what a class act looks like. 

Streets ahead of the our "best" 10.

Both Willie and Pollard have both been anemic under Josè. They were far more productive under previous coaches. 

Pollard was outclassed throughout the Lions series and was about average in the World Cup. Pollard's last brilliant individual performance was against Scotland in 2018. A long time ago.
