Springbok flyhalf Handre Pollard and his wife Maryse shared the news of the birth of their son on Sunday.
It's currently raining Springbok babies in Mzansi as the nation rejoices at the news of the birth of Handre Pollard's son. The Springboks, who won the 2023 Rugby World Cup, made the most of their time with their families between training sessions and took home the Webb Ellis Cup last year.
Springboks' Eben Ezebeth and his wife Anlia were the first couple to share a discreet moment of birth after the Box defeated New Zealand to win their fourth Rugby World Cup. The couple welcomed a baby girl on January 16, 2024.
Mzansi had barely recovered from their celebrations when news of scrum-half Faf de Klerk and his wife's birth was shared on Instagram. The couple also welcomed a baby girl, Remire de Klerk, on February 27th.
