The Springboks are experiencing some big changes in the player lineup, with several key figures either making moves or preparing for major shifts.

Among the biggest stories is the future of flyhalf Handre Pollard, who is set to leave Leicester Tigers at the end of the season.

Pollard Set to Return to South Africa

Pollard, a crucial figure for the Springboks, has been linked with a return to South Africa after his stint in the UK.

The star flyhalf, who has played a pivotal role in the Springboks’ recent successes, is reportedly valued at R15-million, and there are rumors of as many as ten clubs expressing interest in him.

At first, the Japanese club Suntory Sungoliath seemed to be the frontrunner for Pollard’s signature.

However, the tide has turned, and the Vodacom Bulls are now considered the favorites to bring him back to South Africa.

This could be a massive transfer in South African rugby, as Pollard’s return to Loftus, where his career began, would be a thrilling development for fans.

Pollard’s History with the Bulls and the Springboks

The 30-year-old flyhalf’s career began with the Bulls in 2013, and he had a standout year in 2012 as part of the Junior Springboks.

His performances have earned him a place in rugby history, and he is a two-time World Cup-winning player.

His potential return to Loftus is a significant story in South African rugby circles, and it’s one that has captured the attention of many, including respected journalist Simnikiwe Xabanisa, who confirmed Pollard’s move home.

Other Big Moves in the Springboks’ Camp

Handre Pollard is not the only one making waves in the world of South African rugby.

There have been rumors surrounding Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who was initially linked to a return to the Stormers.

However, Kolisi is set to remain at the Sharks, where he will continue his leadership until the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Meanwhile, other Springboks players are also drawing attention.

Joseph Dweba is reportedly considering a move to England, while players like Willie Le Roux and Salmaan Moerat have been linked with clubs in the UK as well.
