Springbok starlet Pollard is ready to take on Sexton

South African head coach Heyneke Meyer has no fears about pitching a rookie out-half into the fray against Ireland on Saturday in opposition to what he labels one of the outstanding pivots of world rugby, Jonathan Sexton. Handre Pollard will earn just his seventh Springbok cap against the man who helped steer the Lions to Test success in 2013, as well as Ireland's Six Nations title triumph last season.
