Handré Pollard - Backing Jesse Kriel as the Springbok captain

Loading player...
The seasoned Springbok flyhalf, Handré Pollard, is fully backing Jesse Kriel to lead the team this weekend against Italy.
Siya Kolisi is unavailable for the Test in Pretoria due to a stiff neck, and Kriel has been appointed as captain.
Last week, Kriel led the Boks in their 54-7 victory over the Barbarians, but this weekend he will officially become Springbok captain number 67.
Pollard himself will start at flyhalf for the Test. He previously captained the Boks against Wales in Bloemfontein in 2022.
Pollard believes there’s no better man for the job this weekend.
