David Pocock returns for Australia side to face Wales
DAVID Pocock will return to the Australia side to face Wales on Saturday — but Nathan Sharpe will keep the captaincy.
A calf injury ruled Pocock out of the Wallabies' matches against France and England earlier this month, after the openside flanker had been missing since August because of knee surgery.
Pocock is usually Australia's skipper, but the team will be led out by Sharpe at the Millennium Stadium, with the lock making his 116th and final appearance for his country.
Michael Hooper, who had been brilliant in Pocock's absence, drops to the bench.
