Consistency is goal for Boks
The Citizen|November 13, 2024
Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard (above) says a big goal for the team this season has been picking up consistent positive results, as they turn their attention to their second end-of-year tour game against England at Twickenham on Saturday.

The Boks picked up their ninth win in 11 matches this past Sunday, a 32-15 win over Scotland, with Pollard playing his part with 12 points through three conversions and two penalties.

They now head into arguably their toughest game of their three-match UK tour, against the team they edged by just a single point in last year's World Cup semifinal, before closing out their year against Wales in Cardiff the following weekend.

The one thing the Boks will also have to contend with is a shorter preparation week, with a six-day turnaround between the matches.
