Watch: Sensational Ratuva Tavuyara offload to put the 'Tongan Bear' away for a 20 metre try

I actually disagree that Pollock is especially disrespectful. He’s more cheeky than anything. But his appeal should be his ability, not his personality.

Great piece by the way. Really interesting read.

The Sharks have the players to beat Leinster but not the cohesion or confidence while the Stormers just don’t have the depth.

Don’t watch what? Is he saying people shouldn’t watch rugby if they don’t like Pollocks celebrations? or shouldn’t watch Northhampton play? or perhaps they should look away when he scores? Stupid, egotistical or both. Hard to tell.

And Pollock, a nominee for the Champions Cup Player of the Year, subscribes to the view that rugby needs to be more entertaining to appeal to a wider spectrum of fans and bring more money into the game.

Its a game of teamwork and respect. Just because it has turned professional doesn’t mean that the baby gets thrown out with the bath water for a few extra quid.
