Pollard did not think South Africa return was possible

In the time Pollard has played abroad he has helped South Africa win two World Cups.

He was with Montpellier when the Springboks won the title in 2019 by beating England in the final, then was called up during the 2023 tournament - after first proving his fitness with Tigers - to help them retain their crown.

Pollard kicked his nation to victory in the decider against New Zealand, scoring every point in their 12-11 win.

But despite his success at international level, he has gone without a trophy with Tigers so far.

He moved to Leicester after their Premiership title success of 2022, and after reaching the Premiership semi-finals in his first season in the East Midlands they finished eighth last term.

But with two months of the season and his Tigers career left, Leicester are well placed to challenge for league and European silverware.

On Saturday they face Glasgow Warriors in the last 16 of the European Champions Cup.

"I've had the most amazing time abroad. I fell in love with Leicester and it's been an unbelievable experience and I'll miss it one day, for sure," Pollard added, when asked about how he might look back at his time with Tigers.

"But there's still quite a lot to do, isn't there? There's a few big games to play."
