Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard has cracked second place in a list of the top 30 players currently plying their trade in Britain.
UK publication The Telegraph ranked the top 30 players in Britain across various sports, including men’s rugby.
Pollard, whose return to action for Leicester Tigers has helped the English side go on a four-game winning run across all competition, came in at second on the list.
Courtney Lawes, who retired from international rugby after helping England claim third place at the World Cup, was ranked as the best in Britain.
Other South Africans on the list include Pollard’s Leicester and Springbok teammate Jasper Wiese (ninth), Ulster prop Steven Kitshoff (19th) and Harlequins centre Andre Esterhuizen (24th).
