Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard should be fit for the start of the 2017 Super Rugby season.
Pollard, 22, missed the entire 2016 campaign due to knee and shoulder injuries but has been taking part in the Bulls' pre-season training.
The Boks fly-half has endured a turbulent time on the sidelines. With the knee injury signalling a lengthy time out, Pollard opted to have a shoulder problem rectified through surgery but was forced to spend five weeks in hospital as his shoulder became infected to the extent doctors told him that if it became more severe, then he would potentially need to have it amputated.

But the sight of Pollard back in training will bring a welcome boost to South African rugby after a poor 2016 campaign.
The Bulls begin their build up to the 2017 Super Rugby season with a match on January 28 against one of their South African rivals.
