Springbok flyhalf general Handre Pollard says he isn't that old and is still learning, as an exciting young crop of players come through the Bok system on the road towards the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

However, it has been a slightly different start to the current cycle for Pollard, taking a more back seat role due to the rise of exciting young talent Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
