South Africa Rugby World Cup winner Handre Pollard will have tests next week on a knee injury suffered in the loss to Racing 92, his club Montpellier said on Saturday.

Pollard, 26, was hospitalised after a collision on Friday with Racing's Baptiste Chouzenoux in the second-half and will undergo an MRI scan on Monday.

The fly-half, who joined the French side after lifting the Webb Ellis trophy in Japan last November, scored a penalty goal in the 41-17 defeat in Paris before suffering the injury with 18 minutes to play.
