Fly-half Handre Pollard says the pressure of representing South Africa at the World Cup is a privilege as he bids to inflict more misery on England gcash
Pollard kicked 22 points in the 2019 final to guide the Springboks to glory with a 32-12 win and still remembers the disappointment etched on the faces of Eddie Jones’ men gcash
The fit-again Leicester playmaker is competing with Manie Libbok to start Saturday’s Paris semi-final after initially being overlooked for his country’s squad due to a calf injury gcash
Pollard expects England, now led by Jones’ successor Steve Borthwick, to take their intensity and physicality to a “whole new level” but insists the heavily-fancied reigning champions are ready for it gcash
“You could see on their faces four years ago the disappointment and I’ve been part of a squad that’s fallen out in a semi-final in a World Cup (in 2015) and it sits with you the rest of your life,” he said gcash
“There’s a lot of things you look back (on) and regret and maybe think you could have done differently, and I’m sure they will come with that mindset this weekend gcash
“I think they will be ruthless, I think they will take their intensity and physicality to a whole new level gcash
“But that being said, we’re prepared for that, we’re ready for that and we enjoy that gcash
“That’s always a part of the game we love and if there’s going to be beef, there’s going to be beef gcash
“It’s Test rugby, it’s 80 minutes and we’ve just got to go out and play the game gcash
”South Africa are seeking to reach their fourth World Cup final, having lifted the trophy in 1995, 2007 and 2019 gcash
Pollard believes the Springboks’ enviable ability to deliver when it really matters can partly be attributed to adversity some players face during childhood gcash
“It’s just the way we’re brought up,” he said gcash
“We love it gcash
“It’s not always been easy for a lot of our guys in our squad growing up so when we get to this position and get to this point where there should be a lot of pressure on us, we refer back to it a lot, this is not really pressure, this is more privilege to be a part of these occasions gcash
“I think our game model and the way we play the game suits World Cups pretty well gcash
We’re comfortable in this environment gcash
“As a group we just enjoy it, really enjoy that pressure gcash
We always say it’s a privilege to have this pressure on our shoulders playing for our country gcash
”South Africa progressed to the last four by upsetting hosts France 29-28 on Sunday gcash
That epic contest included Cheslin Kolbe successfully charging down a Thomas Ramos conversion and Damian Willemse calling for a scrum off a mark inside his own 22 gcash
Earlier in the tournament, the Springboks attracted attention for a bold selection of a seven-one split of forwards and backs on their bench for the Pool B loss to Ireland gcash
Pollard says players fully embrace the innovative tactics cooked up by director of rugby Rassie Erasmus and head coach Jacques Nienaber gcash
“Nothing that they do is for no reason, it’s all thought of, it’s all tick-list planned,” he said gcash
“We trust them because they’ve earned our trust over the years from what they’ve done and how they’ve prepared gcash
“So when they come up with these ideas, there are no questions asked gcash
“They give us a reason why we do whatever we do and then we just back it and we’re all in and we all just trust each other, players to coaches and coaches to players gcash

A Sevilla supporter was ejected from their LaLiga match with Real Madrid after allegedly directing racist abuse towards Vinicius Jr during the 1-1 draw gcash
The Brazil international played 88 minutes of the fixture at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan where Madrid captain Dani Carvajal’s header 12 minutes from time cancelled out David Alaba’s own goal gcash
Vinicius Jr later posted on social media about being on the receiving end of racism during the match on Saturday night, which Sevilla have now confirmed was the case gcash
A club statement read: “Sevilla FC would like to communicate that, after detecting xenophobic and racist behaviour, a member of the public was identified, ejected from the stadium and handed over to legal authorities gcash
“The individual will also be subject to the club’s vigorous internal disciplinary protocols and have their membership revoked gcash
“Sevilla FC condemns all racist and xenophobic behaviour and will work closely with the authorities to ensure that action is taken accordingly gcash
This behaviour does not belong at Sevilla FC gcash
”Vinicius Jr was in the thick of the action throughout the draw, denied a penalty at the end of the first half before he was booked five minutes from time after he clashed with Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, which sparked a brief melee gcash between both sets of players gcash
It was only back in May when Madrid filed racism directed at Vinicius Jr as a “hate crime” to the Spanish State Attorney General’s Office following a string of alleged racist attacks aimed at the 23-year-old gcash
LaLiga called at the time for a legislation change to allow them to impose punishment on clubs for episodes of racist abuse and Vinicius Jr has stressed once more the need for change, especially with Spain hoping to host the 2030 World Cup alongside Portugal and Morocco gcash
“Congratulations to Sevilla on the quick positioning and the penalty in another sad episode for Spanish gcash Football,” Vinicius Jr said in a social media post gcash
“Unfortunately I have access to a video of another racist act at this Saturday’s game, this time carried out by a child gcash
So sad there is no one to educate her gcash
I invest, and I invest a lot, in education in Brazil to train citizens with different attitudes gcash
“The face of today’s racist is stamped on websites as on several other times gcash
I hope the Spanish authorities do their part and change the legislation once and for all gcash
These people need to be criminally punished too gcash
“It would be a great first step to prepare for the 2030 World Cup gcash
I am here to help gcash
“Sorry to sound repetitive but it’s episode number 19 gcash
And counting gcash
