[@mahinaoterangi93]

I'm an All Blacks supporter all the way but Pocock is one of my favourite rugby players. He's amazing on the field and humble off the field. Australian media could learn a few things on humility from him.

[@matthewmalpeli]

+Mah Korewha The Australian media learning? Surely you jest...

[@zemlicoff]

David Pocock is a titan of Australian rugby and sportsmanship. His footy speaks for itself, and his courage and leadership off the field is inspirational. He's the model I invoke when I teach my son what rugby can do for the strength of a man.

[@toniocartonio572]

What's the meaning of footy? Sorry, I'm not an native english speaker

[@toniocartonio572]

*a

[@handsomesquidward5160]

Tonio Cartonio. It's just short for rugby football

[@ShmadLadShano]

I just love how this lad gets well stuck into the breakdown and can win the ball back so quick it's unbelievable!

[@justintheologidis1676]

I'm a kiwi but pocock I beleive is the best 7 playing even at this late stage in his life.Closely followed by Ardie Savea and Sam Cane

[@ozrugbynut1729]

cant wait to see him starting again. hooper + pocock = awesome 7s combo.

[@chambzors1]

I'd like to see him captain the wallabies 2015

[@DanCarter93]

He is an absolute masterclass at the breakdown.

[@georgebs36]

That performance against South Africa in 2011 world cup was something else

[@skatingniggboy1581]

it angers me how underrated david pocock is!

[@chambzors1]

I'll never forget the defence he lead in the 2013 world cup against the springboks. Bloody beautiful

[@Orgasmicoreos]

Did you just say 2013 World Cup? Mate it was 2011 :)

[@chambzors1]

Sorry, my bad haha

[@zane5536]

Machine player. Will be good to see him back in action.

[@OFrazzle]

hes a breakdown genius

[@glensmall9194]

McCaw, Pocock, Hooper, Kaino, Reid..........Master Class for all young rugby players. Exemplary athletes

[@Patrickserisier]

This is the single greatest video i have ever seen.

[@EnglishDonnn]

Best flanker in the world during RWC2011, shame he's faced the injury problems he's had as he was pretty much invincible during last year's tournament, what a player with what a future ahead of him, really could see him as being one of the greatest ever.

[@Relztem]

Pocock pretty much singlehandedly won that quarterfinal in the last world cup

[@MrTimmyCahill]

What a unit! Get better soon mate, I want you back in the team alongside Hooper.

[@rugbyfan0025]

easily one of my favorite players

[@kingpanda1]

Thanks heaps for putting this video together!

[@pilotmburu]

Senator, David Poccock!!!

[@MisterRugbyFan]

Pocock only 5'11? He a fucking massive unit with combination of strength, speed and technique. He going to go far this fella.

[@wowjiffeylube]

Pocock is the better fetcher, but not by much and McCaw trumps him in every other facet of play. He runs better support lines, his lineout and scrum games are better, and he's a very underrated runner. Not to mention his ability to slow down opposition ball and ensure quick service for his side. Add to this the fact that he has the best motor in the ABs (check out his yo-yo test), and 120 tests worth of experience, and you have a player who is still the very best in the world at what he does.

[@01Binzer]

Pocock is by far the best No.7 now...McCaw in his prime was class..8 years difference....just can't wait until Sean O'Brien gets his hands on him....hope he is on the road to recovery.

[@robmoss8198]

Credit where it's due - he was sensational against England. Never seen so many turnovers. They've got a chance at this world cup IMO.

[@gdavies4]

+Rob Moss Agree. Him and Hooper showed the English how to play.

[@TheKgv1]

I guess David Pocock would make ANY RUGBY SELECTION TEAM you care to draw up on this planet, am amazing all round australian powerpacket ......

[@halenball-vant1772]

1:30 is some of the best work in history

[@bobthebuilder12346]

one of the best, if not the bets flanker in the world

[@prolific187]

richie best ever 9 of his 11 years hes been the best most dominant flanker ever

[@Jacob1sharky]

Legend! Met him !!

[@toniocartonio572]

Pocock+Hooper+Farty=Beast Back Row

[@11jag11]

The guy has 4 people on him in ruck and he dont go down amazing!

[@yoe91]

excellent defense !! Damn !! There are a few plays he stopped by himself that would have been tries for certain...Habana one of them... Very impressive ! It's surprising to know he's "just" 100kg when you look at his freakin build !!! I'd have imagined...180...maybe 185 ?

[@SteffanRoberts]

As a Welshman I should probably hate this guy. As a fan of rugby of the highest level I have nothing but admiration for the best 7 in the world.

[@majestic9145023]

2:32 WOW, i have never seen something like that, it seem like a cartoon

[@MistakeLearned]

Jacques Burger. Look for 'The Burger Hit'... you won't regret it! Notice him playing at 9 after the hit! He does that week in, week out. Voted one of the top 5 players at the world cup. If he played for anyone other than Namibia he would be a world superstar.

[@ettuket4474]

I know he's not the most complete 7, but being such a good jackaler it's worth playing a 6 and a 1/2 alongside him to compensate.

[@muhammadfarraszerizam1253]

David pocock the best

[@sililosavea3629]

Pocock is one of the best sevens in the world. richie and david play a different brand of openside flanker. pocock and warburton are similar 7s. So it really depends what type of 7 u are looking for.

[@joemclaughlin8033]

so true

[@MrHuntax]

that's why union exists,so people like him can play,no union, no rucks, end of the world for loose forwards.

[@OoLenny40oO]

In my opinion this would be the best back row in the world: 6.Thierry Dusautoir 7.David Pocock 8.Imanol Harinordoquy

[@jackgoldfinch8408]

he never releases before contesting for the ball!

[@samoandolphin128]

rules where dif back then

[@1711Ajax]

Wasn't a rule back then

[@marksheehan8026]

Kiwi supporter

[@rolusolusa6782]

he along with sam warburton and thierry dusaitoir are the best flankers in the world at the moment

[@Tizoxic94]

McCaw plays around the ref every single game - nobody complaints Pocock does it one match - whole of fucking South Africa still crying about it

[@sugzinho]

the best player ever

[@user-mh9tp4xt9o]

#DAVID POCOK🦁

[@1990babyangel]

at 0:55 this was when the Release after tackling "Rule" hasn't popped up eh??

[@garthratusau8156]

Kul Cme yup

[@thebackrow678]

at 0:45 it was superlatively quick how he got to jackal, but he was being pulled into place by burger and matfield in a way. still best 7 in the world by a mile.

[@enoch6450]

As a proud English man it hurts me to admit this guy is world world class. His body position at the break down is phenomenal. Although one thing I noticed is he barely releases the player after the tackle is complete which is technically a penalty now. Must be clear release...

[@OoLenny40oO]

@Tizoxic94 But Dusautoir is probably the fittest player going plus an unbelievablerunner of the ball, couple that with super fit Pocock and his unmatched poaching ability and you've got some quality flanking ability there. :)

[@willfinnegan2555]

Poor Shane Williams

[@Mastrastar]

lol guys look at 0:44.. the aussies are like :" ok so let's watch David doing the thing alone"

[@BillyBones42]

he is pretty fucking good

[@koskuxxahau]

I'll admit it now he's is the best openside in the world,But McCaw is still the best flanker in the world if you get me.

[@andresviollier9179]

2:30 NICE

[@jonbreno9320]

he's like a tank !!

[@moabdah9]

6. hooper 7. pocock 8. mowen is a pretty lethal back row the aussies have got going in to the world cup 2015

[@joemclaughlin8033]

best openside in the world screw McCaw

[@tat2edcubantrash]

2:20 best clip ever, dude gets his shit pushed in for pulling pocock up by the hair

[@marksheehan8026]

Australia had a lot of great players over this period but so untogether as a team . A shame for guys like pocock and Co not having great winning games but flogging's .

[@MrHuntax]

fuck my life he is strong in the contact and breakdown area.

[@LunchtimeLoonies]

@bobthebuilder12346 definitely the 'bets'!

[@YoUrHiGhNeSs117]

mr pocock... i love you

[@PN737]

sooo many turnovers, thats why we love him!

[@currentaffairs420]

He is like a hyena.. Got strength like a hyena bite

[@MrMrilikepie1234]

um the wuarter finals in the rwc, just check, no daylight was shown by him. im not taking anything away from him he's the bees knees B)

[@Marcus-mm8yr]

man crushed

[@RAttMIce1896]

Great video and great player, but 2:45 in at the side of a ruck or just offside.

[@Dangellos97]

2:30 Like !!!!!!

[@XxFruhxX]

What is the name of this songg ?????

[@user-xh5pf2vf4m]

でた、流血のポーコック

[@kristinfalkiner1782]

I agree McCaw was easily the best openside around, but currently? No, I think Pocock has a far greater impact at the breakdown

[@MadocNco]

i rate warburton more highly. but then again i would do

[@sport9011]

Biggest biceps ever?

[@timothyjohnlaird6287]

his the breakdown disaster

[@joepritchard300]

he doesn't release the tackler when he goes for the steal

[@glensmall9194]

Are you an international referee? Nah. Thought not.

[@liamkelleher3793]

those were when the law didnt require you to release. He does now. To an extent,

[@MNightTomalan]

Why is he so damn hard to shift?

[@prolific187]

Im australian but mccaw is the best player to play the game

[@prolific187]

if you know anything about rugby you would know a good number 7 runs the game and test the ref

[@prolific187]

from doing wat richie mccaw does but wen richie does it u call it cheating

[@Jusnzl]

It's not all about the Breakdown. McCaw has a far broader game.

[@topsui]

Where is he now?

[@bokson4]

Injured...

[@topsui]

bokson4 he broke a bone?

[@bokson4]

topsui He has had 2 knee recons in the last two years so hasn't played many games at all. He will be ready to go for 2015 Super XV season...

[@topsui]

bokson4 ok thanks man

[@topsui]

***** He looks like he's on roids because of how round his muscles are and how grainy he is (exaggeration if you didn't already notice)!!

[@MrMrilikepie1234]

quarter*

[@prolific187]

no the teams dominant coz of him

[@prolific187]

by the way mccaws the best player to ever play the game cheats in australian eyes best and greatest to the rest of the world

[@MrPaddinator]

no his arms did

[@Tizoxic94]

@OoLenny40oO I'd say Jerome Kaino as no6

[@FranciscoParadaLeal]

1:22 plz stop...

[@peterhughes8699]

Pocock, McCaw and G Smith were best no 7s in Rugby history imo. In one of the stupidist errors of all time M. Cheika then ruined the last 5 years of Pococks career by switching him to no 8 where he was not well suited. This done to accommodate an inferior player in M. Hooper. This was the start of the WB demise from no 2 to no 8 in world :(

[@superrprop]

6. Ferris 7. Pocock 6. Read tops it Dusautoir is a 6 and a half great player doesn't work to well in a normal backrow though

[@prolific187]

McCaw enuff said

[@samuelscarisbrick6189]

No. (Not an Australian supporter, but this guys on another level)

[@prolific187]

Samuel Scarisbrick lol McCaw owned everybody

[@jormundgandr88]

pocock was the better overballer

[@marksheehan8026]

Macaw was amazing but consistently over the advantage line and killing the ball .

[@ignaciodivargonzalez3469]

fucking mosterrr!!!!

[@MarkoftheRings]

All those highlights from the SA vs AUS game world cup 2011 absolutely piss me off, that was a marvel of incompetent reffing, not Pocock's skill. Just frustrating losing that game. Pocock does remain a amazing player, however

[@go104realz]

Really? He would of been up there with Kronfeld in the mid 90's, but this is 2012 - no place for one-trick ponies.

[@nickgregory89]

Actually, George Smith is most definitely an openside. Pretty much every Australian rugby fan would know that. David Pocock is, however, a much better player

[@stqinz2k8]

thierry dusautoir is the best!

[@ptown6711]

mccaw is the best 112 test caps 100 wins how many win has pocock had and were is he now, injured richie is a hard man pocock is soft he was gonna cry in the semis of rwc cause he kept getting caught cheating, richie best flanker best captain

[@MrWillin1]

He WAS my pick for IRB player of the year until the obviously deliberate step on McCaw's face.He will forever be tainted by that shitty play!

[@prolific187]

no only if mccaw does it its called cheating but reaally its just jealousy

[@VicVegas100]

Mccaw still hands down the best. Dusutoir, duplesis, then pocock if he ain't injured all the tim

[@UrbanRedBull]

Ha, man you're an idiot

[@marksheehan8026]

Macaw good but not that good .. he was very quick to the breakdown then quickly kill the ball

[@poppolat]

much better than that cheater mccaw
