David Pocock Tribute - The Breakdown Master (RWC 2015)

  • A tribute to the breakdown master, who plays Openside Flanker and No. 8, David Pocock. His performance during the Rugby World Cup 2015 was outstanding, motivating the entire Wallabies team. Besides his masterful technique in turning the ball over, which stands out the most, he's also mastered controlling the ball at the back of a rolling maul to score tries.
    A personal inspiration of mine, as I'm sure is also for so many other rugby athletes out there.
    Enjoy!

    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.

  • @darthmaul408
    @darthmaul408 3 роки тому +42

    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.

    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

    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.

      Pocock is regularly playing 8 now, and his ball carrying skills have become very good.
