CANNON FODDER

The game may have gone professional, but some things never change, such as the initiation young players have to go through. Wallabies flanker David Pocock recalls in the Test program for tomorrow night's match that when he joined the Western Force, teammate Brendan Cannon took delight in putting him in his place. Pocock said that Cannon ''being one of the old bulls, threw out all this normal niggle that now would not faze me but back then I'd get real worried, thinking he didn't like me. I got used to it''. It still took a while. ''Nathan Sharpe will probably tell you that I'm still getting over it.'' Pocock will also have to tread warily, because there is a jinx on the person who is involved in the Q&A section of the Test program. Last week's subject was Ben Alexander, who is now out for three months following knee surgery. The headline on his Q&A was ''Break a leg Ben''. This week's headline on the Pocock story is ''Man of vision''. What odds, Pocock gets eye-gouged in the Test?
