David Pocock ‘more a lover than a fighter’

Australia number eight David Pocock has invited “legend” David Attenborough to Saturday’s World Cup final against New Zealand at Twickenham.

While many of his Wallabies team-mates unwound after Sunday’s last-four victory over Argentina by riding Segways, Zimbabwe-born Pocock tuned into a wildlife documentary.

England 2015’s standout performer, who averages over three turnovers each match, is a climate change activist and during this World Cup he has used his Twitter account to highlight the plight of rhinos in Africa.
