In some terrible news for both Brumbies and Wallabies fans, it has been revealed that David Pocock will miss the rest of the 2014 Super Rugby season after undergoing a full reconstruction on Wednesday night.
Pocock underwent an arthroscopy on his injured left knee in Brisbane on Wednesday which confirmed that he has again ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament that underwent surgery in 2013.
The latest injury occurred late in the match against the Force in Perth on Saturday when he attempted to change direction.
It is a massive blow to not only the Brumbies but also the Wallabies after missing the majority of 2013 with the first round of surgery.
Brumbies Director of Rugby Laurie Fisher had this to say about Pocock.
“Having worked so hard to get himself back to peak physical condition over the last 12 months it’s impossible not to feel for David.
“Only yesterday he was speaking about how much enjoyment he’d been getting out of his rugby this year so to have him sitting out the rest of our campaign is bitterly disappointing for him and the rest of the team.
“What we must remember is that David is still young and will have more opportunities to play professional rugby in the future. Guys like Ben Mowen and Christian Lealiifano are living proof that you can make a successful comeback from a recurring injury and I’d expect to see David bounce back in the same way.
A time frame for his rehabilitation is not known at this stage.
