'Our last week here, and my heart is heavy. Going to miss our life in Market Harborough so much', the pregnant rugby WAG shared on her account.
Marise, who gave birth to her first child in the UK, recently announced her second pregnancy and is likely hoping to settle back in SA as soon as possible.
This time around, the couple are expecting a baby girl, due at the end of October.
While Handre is undoubtedly a man of few words, Marise Pollard has often commented on their life and home in the UK.
In their classy abode, Marise revealed how the family incorporated elements of their South Africa into their second home. One was baby Hunter's safari-themed nursery. Another is a memory wall that boasts the coordinates of where the couple first met in Paarl and where they set up their first home together in Pretoria. The coordinates also revealed the locations of their home in France and the UK.
Marise added, 'South Africa will always be our home. But I'm so grateful to call the UK home as well. I love this country, I live our life here, and I love this chapter.
In another post, she shared of their winter wonderland abroad: 'We just love our little life on this side of the world.'

Canadians cause a riot against Springboks in Battle of Boet Erasmus II
The big winner of the Battle of Boet Erasmus at the Rugby World Cup 1995 between the Springboks and Canada, was Chester Williams, who did not even play in the clash. Photo: AFP Image: AFP Those who were there swear there was something sinister simmering in the air above Algoa Bay the night the Springboks hosted Canada in a Pool A match at the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Older fans would later say they had experienced the same combative atmosphere on July 13, 1974, when the original Battle of Boet Erasmus took place. That was the infamous third Test between the British Lions and a desperate Springbok. At week earlier, at Loftus Versfeld, the Boks had suffered a record 28–9 humiliation and arrived at Boet Erasmus Stadium in a savage mood. But the wily Lions knew what was coming and had devised a call to arms they named '99'. Rugby World Cup 1995 | In retrospective Image: Independent Media Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading When captain Willie John McBride sensed extreme hostility, he would scream '99' and each Lion would punch the nearest Springbok. McBride reasoned that if all 15 Lions were simultaneously brawling, it would be impossible for the referee to send anyone off. The Lions won the fight and the rugby, and the Boks fared only marginally better than in Pretoria, losing 26–9. In 1995, a contributing factor to the incendiary atmosphere was the late kick-off at 7.45pm. It had been a long time since Gqeberha had hosted a Test match, and the excited locals had all day to imbibe in the throbbing beachfront pubs, before they partied up the road to nearby Boet Erasmus Stadium – a ramshackle cauldron where rusty old railway carriages presided atop the openside stand. The volatile expectancy was ramped up when the lights failed as the teams lined up for the national anthems. The 31 000 spectators thronged to the stadium pubs once more. Also pre-match, there had been the curious sight of SA Rugby Football Union CEO Edward Griffiths personally threading his way across that boisterous openside stand to implore holders of the old South African flag to lower their colours. Some did; others mocked him. The teams retreated to their changing rooms when the lights failed. The Canadians continued to whip themselves into a frenzy. That week, captain Gareth Rees had said: 'We're not a particularly good side, but through physical confrontation, we're hoping to set up a battle that we can win. "Nothing illegal … Just good old confrontational rugby that can win or lose you the game.' In fact, Canada were a relatively good side — Rees was an accomplished flyhalf; their Western Province centre Christian Stewart would later play for the Boks; while Rod Snow and Al Charron were among the best tight forwards in Welsh club rugby. But the Canadians knew they could not beat the Boks in a fair exchange. Former Canada captain Gareth Rees. Photo: AFP Image: AFP When the game eventually kicked off, just before 9pm, the Canadians set out to niggle, annoy, and unsettle — an elbow here, a jersey tug there, hidden punches in the rucks, and plenty of inflammatory chatter. This match was the Boks' third game of the World Cup. They had gloriously beaten defending champions Australia in the opening match and taken care of Romania with a B-side. Discipline had been a non-negotiable cornerstone of the Boks' campaign under ultra-strict coach Kitch Christie, and in the first half, the Boks literally rolled with the punches and maintained their focus on getting the result that would secure them a quarter-final. After all, if they had lost to Canada, there was a mathematical chance they would not make the play-offs. The Boks comfortably led 17–0 at half-time, but the only further score in the match would be a Joel Stransky penalty early in the second half. The game lost shape as the niggling intensified, and the powder keg was ignited when Canada wing Winston Stanley, hurtling down the touchline, was clattered into the advertising boards by an over-exuberant Pieter Hendriks. All hell broke loose when Stanley got up and tried to throttle Hendriks. Players flew in like missiles, and among them — perhaps inevitably — was James 'Bullet' Dalton. At that time, the law emphasised that the third party arriving with hostile intent at a tussle, had to be heavily penalised. Referee David McHugh incorrectly identified Dalton as the third arrival, when replays clearly showed it was Canadian fullback Scott Stewart who had escalated the situation. Virtually every player on the field traded blows, but it was the unfortunate Dalton who was sent off by McHugh, along with Rees and Snow. Dalton, for once in his life, was innocent. He never threw a punch and was injudiciously banned from the rest of the tournament. The great fear was that if the Boks' semi-final against France had been rained off — and it very nearly was — they would have been out of the World Cup because Les Bleus had the better disciplinary record.

Kaizer Chiefs make enquiry for Mamelodi Sundowns star!
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly already moving to ensure they put to an end their goal scoring woes for next season. Chiefs struggled to score goals with their forwards failing to get over the five-goal mark in the 2024/25 season. Coach Nasreddine Nabi made it no secret that he wanted to bring in a striker, when he arrived at Chiefs. He didn't get his wish in his first window but was able to add two forwards in January. These being Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilepo. These experienced stars were brought in to supplement a blunt-looking attack which featured Ranga Chivaviro, Ashley du Preez and a young Wandile Duba. While Morris proved to be a flop, Lilepo ended up being the club's joint top goal scorer with young Duba with five. That, however, just highlighted the need for a senior striker to shoulder that goal scoring burden. There have been a number of players mentioned in that regard, with DRC international Fiston Mayele one. The latest striker linked to Chiefs is Mamelodi Sundowns loanee Etiosa Ighodaro according to Soccer-Laduma . 'Yes, it's true. Chiefs are believed to have enquired about Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro. You know the thing is the same people who scouted him from Nigeria for Sundowns are the same who have enquired about him for Chiefs. Actually it's not the first time they have enquired about him. They tried before when he was on loan at Chippa United but Sundowns sent him on loan at SuperSport United. But now they are apparently looking at the possibility of Sundowns letting him go and they can pounce on him,' Said the source. Chiefs fans, would Ighodaro be the answer to your goal scoring woes?
