David Pocock's return to Australian rugby from his year‑long sabbatical will be delayed after the Wallabies loose forward had knee surgery.
The 29‑year‑old flanker, who missed the best part of two seasons with knee injuries in 2013 and 2014, picked up the latest problem while playing in Japan after being given the year off from Super Rugby and tests to pursue his own interests.
Pocock is likely to miss at least four rounds of the Super Rugby season, which gets underway with an all‑South Africa round on February 17th.
