Speaking with The Sun-Herald from Perth, where he is in a training
program devised by Wallabies coaching staff before the team's assembly
next week, Pocock said he was excited at the prospect of wearing the
No.7.
''I've really enjoyed progressing through and learning from guys
like George Smith,'' he said. ''But when he retired last year, I guess
I was pretty nervous. He's obviously been such a big part of the
Wallabies for so long and whoever played No.7, there were massive shoes
to fill.''But I've tried to use that as motivation to become more
consistent and really worked on trying to make a big contribution to
the team's performance every week.
''It's exciting now. I've never been to a World Cup. ¡ But there
are a lot of players who have been in the same boat and had to fill
some big shoes and it's a good bunch of guys. The most important thing
is that we've really started to enjoy ourselves and I think that's
shown in the way that we've been playing and working.''

apart from guys like Drew Mitchell, that's looking like a real
possibility.
