Australian flanker David Pocock talks to Iain Payten of the Courier Mail about who he idolised when he was growing up.
"As far as a young David Pocock was concerned, the poster on the wall was more than justified.
Growing up in Zimbabwe, the fact that Robert Brian "Bobby" Skinstad had also been born in Zimbabwe was a major tick.
The fact he was playing for Pocock's then-favourite team the Springboks. Tick.
The number Skinstad was wearing on his back was his spot as well - No.8. Tick.
But despite all the evidence he was a rugby-styled Zimbabwe Idol, there was at least one cross on Skinstad in the household."
