Pollard kicks for goal

While Leicester Tigers got their 24/25 Gallagher Premiership campaign off to a winning start, Julián Montoya and Handré Pollard faced off in the penultimate round of the Rugby Championship. 

Montoya's side claimed a famous victory for Los Pumas, who have beaten New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the same campaign for the first time. 

A rematch awaits this Saturday in South Africa, with Pollard and the Springboks still five competition ahead of Argentina and odds on to finish top and claim the Rugby Championship.

Despite the loss in Santiago, Pollard's points haul saw the two-time Rugby World Cup winner move into second-place on the all-time points list for South Africa.
