ha. you're right. he shouldn't get any credit for his work in the line-out. I was hardly getting carried away with his tries. His stats show that he was just all round excellent. the best of field easily. the tries were just cherries on top.

What was with the jazz hands thing after his tries? Was Pocock being funny or was he sending a political message to people traumatised by the micro aggression of clapping?

Lol @ all the Waratah's posters trying to water down that performance last night. Even if he hadn't scored 3 tries, he was huge over the ball, made a huge number of runs with metres and line breaks, was setting up players through holes and jumping at the back of the lineout.
The guy is going to be the starting 7 by the world cup, injuries permitting. Everyone knock on wood.

THIS Waratahs poster will happily praise Pocock for his outstanding performance last night. We're bloody lucky to have four opensides of the quality we have in Oz ATM, any of 'em'd grace a gold jumper.
The "jazz hands thing" was an AUSLAN message to a deaf friend of Poey's from his Perth days. He explained it in his post-match interview.

The brumbies didnt make a whole lot of tackles so that makes Sense. 92 tackles overall i think it was.

Very interesting stats:
Pocock: 2 Pilfers, 8 Forced Penalties (Best in Comp)
Hooper: 2 Pilfers, 1 Forced Penalty
Gill: 8 Pilfers (Best in Comp), 6 Forced Penalties( 2nd Best in Comp)
Gill and Pocock both get around 10 tackles per game with Gill missing 1.5 per game, and poey missing just .5 per game. Hoopers making 12 Tackles per game but missing 2.5 per game.
Pocock: 2 Pilfers, 8 Forced Penalties (Best in Comp)
Hooper: 2 Pilfers, 1 Forced Penalty

Pocock was superb last night. Very early in the game he made an excellent run down the left wing, beating a couple and putting the Landers defence at 6s and 7s. That set the tone right away that he was going to have a big one. His attack and defence was top drawer.
There was a run he made in the 2nd half up the middle where he beat the first tackler and then he was tackled from behind, he fell awkwardly and I thought he had done his knee again. As a rugby fan, I'm genuinely glad to see him just get through 80 minutes without injury these days.

No, not all are. Some are. Don't make stupid statements.

Unfortunately the most vocal forum posters from Tah land can often make that statement seem relatively true. Give the guy a break;'that last statement from you wasn't called for. i thought you were better than that.
