BEEF'S BEEN STEWING

Pollard sure fired-up England: will have revenge on the menu

- ALEX SPINK

WORLD Cup winner Handre Pollard says South Africa are braced for a backlash four years in the making from a ‘ruthless’ England. 

The Leicester fly-half knows Steve Borthwick well from their time together at Welford Road and is clear the England boss will have his underdog team baring its teeth on Saturday night.

“They will be ruthless, they will take the intensity and physicality to a whole new level,” said the Springbok star, man of the match against England in the 2019 final.
