Jamie Pandaram, writing for the Courier Mail, looks at who may step into the void left by David Pocock if the unthinkable happens to the star openside.
"The depth of David Pocock's influence on the Wallabies' performance was captured comprehensively during his absence against Ireland, and presence against South Africa, during the World Cup.
And with the busiest schedule in history facing the Australian players next year, it is of utmost importance that a clear back-up for Pocock emerges.
Confusion surrounds the preferred choice, and this uncertainty bodes well for generation next.
Michael Hooper, who won this year's John Eales medal as under-20s player of the year, could be the man."
