Frustrated Bulls fans wonder why Pollard was rested
Cape Times
|December 12, 2025
UNHAPPY Bulls fans are questioning why their star flyhalf, Handré Pollard, is being “rested” for their away Champions Cup match against Northampton, despite having barely played this season.
The Bulls named their tour squad for tomorrow's clash at Franklin's Gardens, with Keegan Johannes and new signing from the Lions, Kade Wolhuter, the two flyhalves selected.
The omission of the two-time World Cup winner was attributed to “Springbok resting protocols”.
Supporters are growing restless after a difficult start to the campaign — the Bulls have lost four of their seven matches, including back-to-back defeats at Fortress Loftus.
Of those seven games, Pollard has played just twice: the United Rugby Championship loss to Ulster on 7 October and last week’s Champions Cup defeat to Bordeaux.
After the heavy 28-7 loss in Belfast, Pollard returned home for the birth of his second child.
