I've always enjoyed that part of the game. You play a lot throughout your career to get to those moments. The mindset is that some guys fear those moments, I just enjoy them. Your team backs you 100%, if you get it it's great. But it's something you've done thousands of times before, you're going to do it thousands of times again and you're probably going to miss another 100 times. They are big pressure moments but you've got to embrace it.
Cast your eye around the global game and there are no better candidates to shoot for goal if your life depended on it than South Africa's double World Cup winner. For the Springboks it has been a year of experimentation, all the while maintaining their place at the top of the world rankings, but Pollard's reliability, whenever Erasmus calls upon him, has been consistent.
