It's a girl! The rugby universe just got a tad more pink and delightful as Handré Pollard and Marise Pollard introduced their newest team member, Isabella Tanya Pollard, to the world. Born on a sunny Monday at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt, the same hospital where Marise was born three decades earlier, the arrival of Isabella has added another layer of joy to the Pollard family.
Continuing a charming tradition at the hospital, Handré, the robust Springbok fly-half, proudly hoisted a pink flag—an emblem marking the birth of his daughter. This symbolic gesture not only announced the arrival of little Isabella but also visibly declared Handré's pride in becoming a father once again. The couple, who already are parents to their one-year-old son Hunter, are over the moon with their growing squad.
"And just like that, our world has changed again. Isabella Tanya Pollard, you are so loved."
The words of Marise Pollard resonate with the profound emotions of new parenthood. Her connection to Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt runs deep, not just as the birthplace of her daughter but also her own. The significance of this full-circle moment adds a sentimental layer to the celebratory occasion.
While the family basks in the joy of their new addition, Handré's coach, Ackers, has chimed in with a note of patience for the star player. He suggests allowing Pollard some breathing room to adjust to his expanded family life, indicating that the dynamics at home are just as crucial as those on the field.
The Pollard family is embracing this beautiful new chapter, and the rugby community joins in their celebration, eagerly waiting to see how the new dad balances the scrums and bedtime stories. With Isabella’s arrival, the Pollards have indeed scored a beautiful try in the game of life, adding more love and a little more hustle to their family team.
