Rugby fans, here’s the scoop: England’s rising star, Henry Pollock, is causing quite the stir in the rugby world! At just 21, this flanker has already earned the nickname “the Jesus of English rugby,” and not without reason. From his stellar debut against Wales last year, scoring not one but two tries, to his electrifying performances for Northampton Saints, Pollock is a force to be reckoned with.
Recently, the French media labelled him both an unmissable talent and a bit of a show-off, mixing admiration with that classic love-to-hate vibe. Pollock has no qualms about his reputation either, brushing off any critic’s comments with ease. He plays with intensity and flair, sometimes even imitating UFC’s Conor McGregor to celebrate his tries. Talk about swagger!
His year reached a crescendo when he helped the Saints reach the Champions Cup final, but it hasn’t been without drama. A post-match incident involving Fraser Dingwall and Matthieu Jalibert saw tensions run high, but Pollock stood firm.
For Pollock, the boos and cheers are all part of the game: “Fans can do what they want,” he says. With another Six Nations beckoning, he’s ready to dive head-first and make an even bigger splash. His mission? Enjoy every moment on the field and relish the chance to make England proud.
With his eyes set on dominating at the Stade de France on 14th March, Pollock is surely a player to watch. Whether you love him or love to hate him, one thing’s for sure: he’s here to stay and make his mark! 🏉🇬🇧
