Pollard to lead Vodacom Bulls
The Vodacom Bulls announced that flyhalf Handré Pollard will be captaining the Vodacom Super Rugby franchise going into the season, while regular captain Adriaan Strauss is still recovering from surgery and expected to miss the first few games of the competition.
The young flyhalf is no stranger to leadership roles, as he performed a sterling job of captaining the junior Boks on several occasions, and has always been part of the leadership group at Loftus Versfeld over the last few years.
Coach Nollis Marais: “Handré is an amazing rugby player and a natural born leader, and we are privileged to have a young man of his caliber in our system. He has a strong personality and a great vision for the game, as he has shown time and time again, at all levels. Couple that with the respect he has earned from the players and the vital experience he has gained with the Springboks, and his appointment becomes obvious.”
Pollard will be deputised by Hanro Liebenberg, another youngster who had the honour of captaining the junior Boks as well as the Vodacom Blue Bulls at both junior and Currie Cup levels.
If pushed to quick and he hurt the knee or shoulder again we will be in deep shi--t so far as fly half goes
Die uitslag teen die Leeus mak minder saak as beserings. Hoop almal is OK. Ek lees dat Jan Serfontein ook op die Europese soeklys is.
Tuks se wen was baie positief. Hulle het verlede jaar nie goed begin nie. Sos ek verneem het sal Pote hul in Varcity Cup vat waarna hy na die 0'19's oorskuiwe en Chris Buitendag dan die Tukkies gedurende die community Cup sal afrig.
Dis jammer die Bulle rangeer nie vir Thinus de Beer nie. om die een of ander rede dink ons Jantjes is ons nr. 4 losskakel. Maar ten minste kry de beer darem speeltyd.
Barend as jy as CEO so nou en dan kom inloer op die website sal jy sien die Bulls se brand groei sterk onder Hollandse ondersteuners uit die korttermynversekeringsbedryf. Miskien is daar dalk ' paar potensiele losie en seisoenkaartjie kopers.
