New injury setback for Pocock

Sydney - Wallaby flank David Pocock has suffered a new injury setback and will miss the Brumbies Super Rugby match against the Chiefs this weekend with ankle trouble, club officials said on Monday.

Pocock, whose last two seasons were ruined by knee reconstructions, picked up the injury in last Friday's win over the Reds in Canberra.

"Obviously it's a disappointing outcome and not what I wanted, having spent a long time out. But it's treatable and I know I'm in good hands here with the Brumbies medical team," Pocock said.
