Australian rugby team's strategy for upcoming tournaments

#4. Accommodating David Pocock in the side:

David Pocock, one of the best breakdown experts in the world, is back from the lay-off and now playing in the Super Rugby for the Brumbies. With Michael Hooper also playing as the No.7 for the Waratahs now, the Wallabies would have to find a way out to accommodate both of them in the starting line-up. Either of them could play as the No. 8.

This would also mean that 2 of the better breakdown players in the world would be in the Australian back row. This should definitely improve their performance in the breakdowns. Pocock has more than a decade's experience and almost 70 caps for the Wallabies and this experience is too precious to be ignored.
