Pocock’s hand broken

-

SYDNEY: Wallabies loose forward David Pocock has been ruled out of the rest of the Rugby Championsh­ip after breaking his hand in the 36-20 win over Argentina in Perth. Pocock was substitute­d in the 36th minute, and while it appeared tactical to allow James Slipper to temporaril­y replace the sin-binned Scott Sio, the No 8 did not return when the Wallabies had their full complement back. He could return for the final Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks in Auckland on October 22. – Reuters
