STAR AUSTRALIAN BACKROWWER David Pocock is staying with the ACT Brumbies and the Wallabies until at least the next World Cup, his club said, but he will take 2017 off to study.
The number eight, who recovered from two knee reconstructions in two years to play a leading role for Australia at the last World Cup, will return to Australia ahead of the 2018 Super rugby season.
“I really appreciate the willingness the ARU and Brumbies have shown in allowing me to weigh up my desire to be available for selection leading into the next World Cup against my longevity in the game and pursuing interests outside the sport,” he said, according to the Brumbies website.
Incredible player.
Even better human being, and that says a lot!
Given the life he leads off the pitch, in tandem with his performances on the pitch, it’s easy to see why many men would have a mancrush on him. I mean I’m clearly not saying *me* or anything like that, just saying you could see why someone would.
Beast!
Good for him, not just GAA players who need a break it seems.
Big difference in someone playing a sport as a hobby than there is pro Sean
Two knee reconstructions in two years, the sensible option is to take a year out or he might not be around in two or three years, no point in flogging players.
Obviously very different, nothing wrong with it in either case, more to life then sport whatever level you play at.
