Pocock "by a country mile" .... on what planet are you? That's not even the case in his own team.

You think there is a better player in the Australian side, or in world rugby, than Pocock right now?

I was just joking and i suppose he was too. I really have nothing against England and besides football when they face Portugal, i don't root against them. It would be different if we were talking about Spain though :D
 
All the talk will be about England but this has been a sensational performance by Australia. Don't think any team has played this well so far in this tournament

People are allowed opinions chaps. Pocock is one of the best out there in his position. Same with Folau and Giteau?

He is a good player but Read is better and that's more than a simple opinion. Pocock isn't special in open play, he is only special in the rucks and mauls.

Yes, and I'm clearly not alone.

I wouldn't say there are many in rugby who'd agree with you right now. Super Rugby player of the year. Best player at this years Rugby Championship as Australia beat NZ and SA. Monstrous performances against Fiji last week and England this week. Who do you think is better than him right now?
 
England try. This will get interesting.

If you follow Super Rugby no one will tell you that Pocock is the best player in Super Rugby or in the World. It will be between Kieran Read and Brodie Retallick.
 
We're getting too isolated at the breakdown. Ffs.

Read is a magnificent player and I'd have had him as the worlds best player up until this summer. But even Kiwi's will tell you his recent form has dropped a little and I think you're underestimating Pocock's ability in the loose His tackle rate and ball carrying are top notch while at ruck time he is other worldly.

I watch a lot of Super Rugby. I also watched all of the Rugby Championship this year and he was the best player in both competitions. Retallick was next best but you are judging Read on last years form. He's a bit behind that in 2015 so far. If no one will tell us that he's the best player in Super Rugby, who voted him best player in Super Rugby???

Even the kiwis are admitting he's a step above at the moment. Go have a look on a well known All Blacks forum like thesilverfern if you don't want to believe me.
 
13-20! These last 15 mins will be very good i hope
