- Pocock initially named in Australia’s XV for Twickenham
- Cheika feels back-rower was not fully fit after neck injury
David Pocock has pulled out of Australia’s starting line-up to face England less than 24 hours after being named in the XV to play at Twickenham.
When Pocock was selected, Australia’s head coach, Michael Cheika, admitted at the time that the back-rower was not fully fit after aggravating a neck injury in the previous weekend’s win over Italy.
