MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Handre Pollard did not let his imminent move to Montpellier distract him from the task at hand as he spurred the Bulls to a 32-17 victory over the Melbourne Rebels on Friday.

Springboks flyhalf Pollard, who will join the French outfit at the end of the Super Rugby season, had a hand in virtually all of the Bulls points and combined with fellow South Africa international number eight Duane Vermeulen to take control of the game in the second half.
