Pollard has signed with the Bulls and made his Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup debut in 2013. The 20-year-old fly-half made his Super Rugby debut for the Bulls in 2014 and made a good impression that saw him being included in the Springbok squad, making his debut against Scotland in June this year where he contributed 13 points. Pollard also scored a conversion and a penalty for the Boks in their win over Argentina at Loftus in Pretoria on 16 August.
Courtnall Skosan is another player who helped Tuks with the 2012 and 2013 Varsity Cup title with a string of impressive performances. The winger then moved to the Bulls but struggled to make an impression, making only 12 appearances in his two years at the Bulls. At the start of this year he moved to the Golden Lions based in Johannesburg. Skosan is now a regular starter for the Lions in the Currie Cup but has yet to break through into the Super Rugby side.
Clayton Blommetjies lit up the 2013 Varsity Cup competition with his pace and counterattacking prowess, often running the ball 30 metres from his full-back position. He spent three years at the Bulls but only managed to make up 13 Currie Cup appearances. Blommetjies has recently committed his future to the Free State Cheetahs for the 2015 season.
There are undoubtedly great futures for these players and hopefully Tuks will carry on bringing new talent to the South African rugby scene.
