Boks To Step Things Up

Pollard: Team Still Has Not Unlocked Their Attacking Potential

- Ross Roche

Experienced double world cup winning fly-half Handre Pollard believes the Springboks attack is on an upward trajectory, but that they haven't reached their full potential yet, as they prepare to take on Italy in their incoming series match at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

The Boks opened their 2025 international season with an impressive 54-7 win over an experienced Barbarians team in Cape Town over the past weekend, running in eight tries despite very wet and rainy conditions throughout the game.

Despite that effort it seems the Boks want to make another step up, starting with Italy in Pretoria, and Pollard explained that the team has been slowly evolving on attack, and would continue to get better as time goes on.
