During a virtual press conference yesterday, Jantjies - who will run out for the Springbok Green team during the Springbok Showdown at Newlands on Saturday - said that while Pollard’s injury lay-off is a big blow for the national side, he’s looking forward to the opportunity.
If the Boks go to Australia for the Rugby Championship, they will be without Pollard, who would also have raked together minimal game time before the much-anticipated series against the British & Irish Lions next year.“For me it’s tough to lose a guy like Handre, we worked together quite well during the World Cup and he started playing consistent rugby and we helped each other out.
Earlier in the week, SA Rugby’s director of rugby Rassie Erasmus praised Jantjies - who is the next most experienced flyhalf available to the Springboks - for the role he played in their World Cup success, while he also confirmed that the Lions skipper will assume the No 1 flyhalf role with Pollard out for the near future.
“So, Elton is there, and then there’s Damian Wilemse, who has gone to a World Cup and who can do a job at 10 and 15. Even Frans Steyn, he can slot in if needed. Then Curwin Bosch, if he gets a good run, is someone to watch.”
