Pollard breaks silence after his devastating injury
By Josh Raisey
Montpellier and Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard has shared a message for the first time since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament against Racing 92 last Friday. The 26-year-old described to his followers on Instagram the nature of a rugby career, which is full of highs and lows.
His message was accompanied by a photo of himself being stretchered off the field at the Paris La Defense Arena.
He said: “This beautiful game we play has so many highs and brings so much joy to our hearts, but on the flip side in a second it can take you to a very deep low.
“Injuries are a part of this game we love and this is just another test of character. I am really sad that I have to leave my Montpellier brothers so early in the season, I will be supporting you all the way.
“I am ready for the challenge ahead and coming out on the other side stronger than ever before.”

This is a nonsense phrase that has become popular when rugby fans describe their own teams.
Regardless of the game, or which team you favor, both teams are likely to have "left points behind" or "gifted" their opponents some scores.
The truth is that in these four games NZ were not good enough to impose themselves and deliver the wins. Teams can improve, and I hope NZ does so, but let's not avoid the fact that they tried and failed.
Its not "left wins behind", but "this year we weren't good enough".
