Pollard has 'no idea' about Tigers move
Today at 01:06 AM
Springbok star Handre Pollard remains uncertain about his future with the Leicester Tigers as his contract nears its end, amid speculation linking him to a move to Japan.
Reports suggest the double World Cup winner could join Suntory Sungoliath, potentially reuniting with Bok teammate Cheslin Kolbe. Leicester, meanwhile, are reportedly eyeing Wales flyhalf Sam Costelow as Pollard's replacement.
"I have no idea," Pollard told BBC Radio Leicester when asked about his next step.
The 30-year-old admitted decisions about his future are being handled by his agent. "I'm just happy being at Leicester and will enjoy every minute I have here," he added.

Having joined Leicester in 2022, Pollard has made 38 appearances, including four this season. He previously played for the Vodacom Bulls, Japan's Red Hurricanes, and Montpellier.
This week, Pollard is set to face several Springbok teammates, including Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi, and Ox Nche, as Leicester takes on the Sharks in the Investec Champions Cup.
On the mood in the Leicester camp under director of rugby Michael Cheika, Pollard explains, "I'm really enjoying playing, and everyone is enjoying it.
"You can't underestimate how important that is in a long season."
