Brumbies and Wallabies superstar David Pocock suffered another season ending injury last week tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against the Force.
Earlier this week, the 25-year-old had his second knee reconstruction in 12 months, ending his Super Rugby season after just two games.
Like last year, the Wallabies captain, who has played just five games in two years, could be replaced by veteran George Smith who finished his season in Japan and his waiting to join French club Lyon this summer.
In a club statement, Brumbies director of rugby Laurie Fisher said it was a massive blow for both the Brumbies and for Pocock.
“Having worked so hard to get himself back to peak physical condition over the last 12 months it’s impossible not to feel for David,” he said.
“Only yesterday he was speaking about how much enjoyment he’d been getting out of his rugby this year so to have him sitting out the rest of our campaign is bitterly disappointing for him and the rest of the team.
“What we must remember is that David is still young and will have more opportunities to play professional rugby in the future. Guys like Ben Mowen and Christian Lealiifano are living proof that you can make a successful comeback from a recurring injury and I’d expect to see David bounce back in the same way.
“Professionally, David has had a big impact on the way the Brumbies have prepared and approached the 2014 Super Rugby season and I’d like to see him continue to contribute to the way the team carries itself both on and off the field.”
