.Springboks flyhalf Handre Pollard is looking forward to the first Test against the lionsofficial on Saturday, which will also be his 50th Cap. By ashfakmohamed | IOLsport

CAPE TOWN – Saturday’s first Test between the Springboks and the British and Irish Lions will be extra special for Handre Pollard.

Not only will he make his return to the field after Covid-19 isolation, which saw him miss last week’s South Africa A clash against the Lions, but he will also earn his 50th Test cap at Cape Town Stadium – and in his home province, as he hails from Somerset West and went to school at Paarl Gym. In addition, the Bok flyhalf had a long road back from a knee ligament injury that threatened to keep him out of the Lions series.
