Australia has been boosted by news flanker David Pocock is fit to come back to action after getting better from a back injury. Pocock was forced to pull out of the shock defeat to Ireland at the 11th hour, with the Western Force forward also absent the romp over the USA.
However Pocock is now available to face Russia in Australia's final pool game - although it is unclear whether the 23-year-old will be risked ahead of the make unconscious stages.It's feeling good,Pocock said of his injury.I'm keen to get out there. It would be great to get some running in the legs and, yeah, I'm just keen to play.
I've got through a fair bit of work the past couple of weeks just trying to settle it all down and do all the right things and then ran really well yesterday morning, so it should be full preparation this week.
It all depends on Robbie and what the coaches are looking at for the Russians.Australia are expected to have few harms in overcoming the Bears, however Pocock has paid compliment to the World Cup debutants.I've seen all their games and they're a team with a lot of fight,he said.
They haven't clearly got the results they've been after but you can't fault their strength, the way they fly into the tackle area.They score a few good tries next to Ireland as well on the weekend.
