Pocock named in Brumbies touring squad

The Brumbies touring squad, to play the Stormers in Cape Town (20 April) and the Jaguares in Buenos Aires (28 April), has been confirmed following the 31-20 victory over the Lions at GIO Stadium in Canberra last night.

Head Coach Dan McKellar has selected a 28-man squad for the tour, with both matches being shown live on Fox Sports in Australia.

Of most interest to fans will be the return of David Pocock. Pocock was initially named in the team to play the Lions this past weekend in what would have been his first match back after a calf injury. He had to withdraw from the match, however, after he failed to convince medical staff he was 100% fit.
