The best No.10 on the planet right now, Handre Pollard is the brains behind a powerful and talented South African backline that has run rampant over the likes of Australia, England and the All Blacks in the last 12 months.
The 25-year-old is also an accurate goal-kicker and he just might top the points standings come the end of the tournament.
Pollard has scored 388 points in 42 tests including six tries.
