"Fake news" says Pollard of Bath move

Certain media outlets have recently claimed that World Cup-winning Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard has been linked with a move to English club Bath.

Pollard currently plays for French Top 14 side Montpellier, whom he joined at the end of 2019.

Reports indicate that Bath are on the hunt for a prominent flyhalf but what has surfaced of late indicates that claims surrounding Pollard are misguided.

“That is false news,” Pollard conveyed in a recent press conference. “ I’ve still got two years left in Montpellier and I’m very happy here and I’m hoping to stay even longer.”

“It is very frustrating but it happens a lot. You can’t let it get to you.

“Personally I’m really happy here, my wife’s happy here, I’m really enjoying it here so there’s none of that going on.”
