Why the Springboks excel at Rugby World Cups
For the Springboks, representing South Africa is important, according to Pollard.”Being able to represent South Africa in a game like this is a privilege rather than pressure, as many players in this squad did not have an easy upbringing,” added Pollard.
We may have a blueprint to follow when it comes to participating in World Cups because the majority of the players were raised under duress and find it enjoyable. We must give it our all because we are representing our nation.Manie Libbok, the starting flyhalf for this Rugby World Cup, has been praised by Pollard.Pollard said, “I can’t thank Manie enough for the way he’s playing and taking the pressure.”He works really hard for the team and is a modest man. His style of play is really dynamic and appealing to us as a squad; we have all embraced and been pleased with it. Everywhere we play, regardless of our individual positions, our focus is always on the team and what we can do best for them.

Pollard thinks that in what could be a brutal Rugby World Cup semi-final on Saturday, England will be looking to give the Springboks all they’ve got.Pollard remarked, “I’ve lost a semi-final before, and when that happens you look at yourself. I could see the disappointment on their faces four years ago.” They’ll be merciless and up the physically ante, in my opinion. Naturally, there will be conflict, but we must move out and finish the task at hand.
