    One of - if not THE most - prolific turnover artists in the game. And in my opinion the best I've ever seen.

    A true 80-minute player. In the last two minutes of the 2015 World Cup Final, when Beauden Barrett was running in the last try, the closest Australian player to him was Pocock, chasing to the very end.

    what an extraordinary player and role model on top! the incredible pace at which he approaches the ruck at 2:15 just seems like he launches in from nowhere and in a fraction of a second gets himself in an immovable body position, just staggering

    This tribute only contains highlights from David Pocock's performance during the Rugby World Cup 2015. I've managed to include almost all of his turnovers.
    Although I'm an All Blacks fan, I believe that if it wasn't for Dan Carter's outstanding performance (especially during the Final), Pocock deserved the Player of the Year Award.
    Enjoy

    At his peak he was almost unplayable at the breakdown. So smart and like a limpet around the ball. He single handedly kept Australia in so many games. As a pure breakdown forward, he was superior to McCaw and Brussow for me.

  • @whokilledjr3719
    @whokilledjr3719 6 лет назад +3

    That tackle he put on Savea in the rwc final was spectacular. He didn't even have his arms fully wrapped, he was able too hold onto those immensely powerful tree trunk thighs of Savea with his wrist strength alone and drag him down, that is just absolutely ridiculous.

    I lost all faith in the Wallabies over the past few years. We finally have a squad we can be proud of and love.
    Pocock is just a freak at the breakdown. If he gets on top of the ball, there is no getting him off. It's amazing to watch the tackled player move with Pocock when someone clears him away from the ball.
    He was also one of the main reasons the Wallaby Maul was so lethal. The way he stays attached at the rear is just crazy.

      Mackem Slinger I respect your argument but I think you must be pretty new to rugby. Kaino doesn't start for the blues anymore never mind the all blacks, Read is starting to take a dip in form and Robshaw just isn't that good.
      Pocock is regularly playing 8 now, and his ball carrying skills have become very good.

    I think if he wasn't so unlucky with his injuries (god knows how much he's copped in just a few months) affecting his form he'd be the best 8 on the field

    One of the best ever. Even McCawspoke about how immovable he was over the ball. The All Blacks had to target him and strategised to keep him out of the game. Great waste at Number 8.
