HARARE - Zimbabwean born Western Force flanker, David Pocock, has been handed the vice captaincy for the 2010 Super 14 season. Gweru born Pocock is a Zimbabwean-Australian Rugby Union player and became Force’s youngest ever vice-captain after being appointed at just 21 years of age. He is tipped to be the future captain of the club.
The move is another huge step in his illustrious career since his Wallabies Debut in late 2008. Pocock is one of many Zimbabwean born rugby stars plying their trades in foreign lands including Tendai Mtawarura (the Beast), Brian Mujati, Tondarai Chavhanga, Takudzwa Ngwenya, Scott Gray and Nils Mordt.
