Wynne Gray is looking forward to David Pocock and Richie McCaw going head-to-head in Sydney on Saturday in The New Zealand Herald.
"About a year ago, David Pocock replaced the superb but tiring George Smith as the Wallabies' premier openside flanker.
"That ascension had only been a matter of when, once Pocock was nabbed five years ago by former All Black coach and looseforward John Mitchell for his Super 14 debut. Pocock is still only 22, but yesterday in Bloemfontein, he backed up his work from the week before with another stunning display in the Wallabies' edgy 41-39 victory.
"While most inspection would have been on Kurtley Beale's mishaps-to-messiah contribution in the second half, the Wallabies would have been buried without Pocock."
