The David Pocock Episode! - Good Bad Rugby Podcast #22

- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- Alex Payne and James Haskell are joined by one of the greatest players of a generation - David Pocock - for an amazing and wide-ranging Good Bad Rugby conversation.
The trio talk bird books, walking away from the game, escaping the horrors of Zimbabwe, and the obsession that leads to the very top of the game. In an incredible episode, the former Australian captain opens up for the very first time on what drove him on, and what happens when you're prepared to sacrifice everything you've worked for because of what you believe in. From 450 sit ups a day to PTSD, World Cup Final disappointments to THAT tackle in Brisbane, it's one of the very best episodes of GBR, with a very special guest.

A great rugby player . Even better human being, Sir David pocock.
As a Zimbabwean, hearing Pocock talk about how much Zimbabwe means to him is great to hear. Also enjoyed watching him play, especially during the 2015 RWC. In my opinion Pocock, McCaw and Dusautoir are the best loosefowards to play the game.
have you never seen Richard Hill play ?
Schalk burger as well
David Pocock what a legend:) Feel like the era of him, Warburton, Dusatoir, O’Brien and Mccaw were the epitome of ultimate number 7s in the game👌🏾
👍
Imagine thinking Warbrton and O Brien belong in the group 😹

As a fan boy of New Zealand rugby... I rate this bloke for both on /off field. Many of these blokes appear humble. What a legend!!!
complete idol for me, on and off the field
I have to say this has to be one of my favourite episodes you guys have ever done. I've always admired Pocock as a player but never realised the depth of the man, his interests, and his principles. A huge amount of respect has been gained, and I'm 100% behind him in any future campaigns. Keep doing what you're doing David, you can see how much it all means to you 👏👏👏
Top guy.THE GB&R jUst gets better every show.
Publicly and obviously a great player, privately an even better bloke. Stands for all the right things. Another fantastic episode GBR, thanks.
Pocock! Good stuff -- logged on and this popped up! Cheers!
Enjoy Robert! 🙌
As someone who grew up admiring David it was awesome to watch this. Interesting to contrast him again the more boisterous greats. Brilliant episode.
God, watching this interview is making me feel very old.
I watched David play in the First 15 for Churchie against my son.
This is so good!!! Love seeing the inner child come out with David talking about Birds and wildlife and Hask about Diggers and construction equipment. Makes me think of my little ones and the things they love! Keep up the great work GBR, this is much needed! 😊
Hask’s McDonald’s advert is absolutely horrific. The man has no shame 😂😂
Pocock is a God. What an incredible, grounded and honest man. Hats off Mr. Pocock.
My role model since 2011, what a man 🙌🏿
I still remember when Pocock was memeing during the 2015 WC for stealing every ball at the breakdown and someone pasted dialogue to a picture of Pocock on the phone with the famous quote by Liam Neeson in Taken but tailored about stealing their rugby ball with his "very particular set of skills".
Ever since I started playing I’ve absolutely loved and admired Pocock!! His work rate and work off the field is just amazing
I wonder if younger players appreciate what an amazing resource this podcast and those like it are. Previously we had to rely on great print journalists to tease this stuff out, and even then you’d be getting an edited version. To get such detail and hear such honesty directly from players that I’ve previously only seen butting heads on TV is breathtakingly refreshing
Another belter. Well done GB&R, every week is something different. Pocock is just a superb man. Loved it.
Great episode, lads. I have nothing but respect for this man. The right type of role model to have.
Sustainable Agriculture studies! What an amazing player and person, cheers for the interview lads! Great stuff!
Thanks Jack 👌
Wow. You guys, as far as shows go, are at the top of your game in my opinion. As for this episode 10/10.
Fantastic interview. Wonderful how Pocock warmed to the situation and a great range of subjects covered. Thank you
Busy watching the podcast WOW , view on David Pocock radically changed . Best of luck with all your future endeavours Mr Pocock. Great content guys .
Thanks Warren 🙌
what was your view on him before?!
@@guytomlinson4617 being from South Africa , always viewed him as the "enemy" and player that needed to be managed , however After watching this podcast and his documentary , can relate to his experiences growing up and what he and his family went through.
Brilliant interview.... great player great man 👏👏👏
Fantastic episode. What a legend!
very enlightening, fantastic interview. Always love watched him play but now watching this interview gained greater respect. Best of luck with all your endeavours.
I only just got round to listening to this one absolutely fantastic, I don't know how ye keep getting these unbelievable guests . David is fantastic, thanks guys.
Best guest so far. how great is rugby, the game for everyone
Interesting listening to Haskell and Pocock talk about obsession. I wonder if they both would have been half the players if they didn't have that obsessive streak. This may be the same in all industries and jobs.
What a great podcast episode. Thankyou James & Alex for these podcast. Being from Lydenburg South africa on a farm as a child. I had a very similar experience too david and his family. We also migrated too Western Australia. David aswell as you both are massive inspiration to me and im sure too alot of other people. Rugby has a massive impact on whoever the sports touches. And for you guys too be talking about the sport. But also your lives outside of rugby is so inspirational. Thankyou
What an amazing human. Loved his play & mentality
Wow that was amazing!!! What a guy!!
Great episode, thank you
Love this guy thanks all
This is what we need in time's like this. Please keep them coming gents!
Another great interview 👍🏽
Great interview with James Haskell
Pocock looks like an early computer game character without the lid now.
The original Runescape character!
Pocock was Australia's McCaw.
But also a nice guy. Actually, that sounds awful. I have no idea if McCaw was a decent guy.
Is
Still waiting for the crown jewel of an episode when Owen Farrell comes on!
he needs to win something big first.
@@fayyaadhnaidoo9323 Is 5 premiership's, 3 european cups, 3 six nations, 1 autumn nations cup, 2 lions tours, world cup finalist and a European player of the year award not enough??? 😂😂
I think Faz would be boring as shit anyway
@@adampeckham8541 on a European scale yes but not on a global scale. For a player of his caliber that is
@@fayyaadhnaidoo9323 I don't really want to see him on this for his rugby achievements (although they are obviously world class), I just want to see the ridiculous banter between him and Haskell.
Seriously great podcast, thanks for sharing guys. If you don't mind sharing the auction details if they do go ahead? Good on you Alex and James
What a class interview, Love this show. Great balance of topics and just the right amount of rugby.Thanks for making lockdown much less shit.
On the lions, I think a tour hosted in NZ (against SA) would be a great alternative as it would mean they could still play some super 15 sides.
Could even have a 2017 tie breaker match with NZ!
how are u gonna regulate the fans who come from corona riddled countries.
@@ay613 this was assuming the UK is back to normal ish as is the case with the games being played in uk having crowds. Understand it’s not an easy/cheap idea but it would be just nice to watch it as a proper tour and with some crowds.
Could play 3 tests against NZ instead. Obviously it would be good to play World Cup winners though.
What a way to kick off 2021… especially by using the main hosts’ hero (Hask) as a guest on this pod 😎
Alex Payne's hair is looking extremely healthy.
As always!
Classic
@@joshg9330 My man Josh coming in with the dub.
@@ac2244 You love the bloke. Always look to see what compliment you give him LOL
About time :D
Pocock is a farm Zimbo. Dedicated to his craft and disciplined in his life not just rugby. Religious man which is huge for us Zimboz.
A very deep and intelligent man.
In my top 3 youtube channels, great content. Please please get Richie Mccaw on.
Great Pod as always! What does the Rob Brydon segway at the end mean?
Greetings from the US (as embarrassed as I am right now) (this isn't who we are!). As a relative newcomer to the fabulous sport of rugby, I love how this podcast introduces me to the person before I see the athlete. Obviously I've missed the greatness of a vast number of rugby legends. But I am thoroughly enjoying the current version of the sport & it's players. Don't let rugby turn into the total clown show that is American football! If allowed, I'd like to start the bidding for the signed Haskell/Pocock jerseys at $1000.00 USD.
Stay safe.
Legend
Best jackler and imo best flaker I've ever seen. Top man
I was at the 2015 final and you were the best player that day with DC imo
Hask did not want to let go of that shirt and rightly so!
Sam Warburton once described David Pocock as a "Human Excavator!". Great player!
If Pocock and Hooper had a world class ball carrying no 8 alongside them Australia would have been unbeatable...even Haskell would have done!
LOL, Haskell with the Spaten stein. Not the best beer from Munich but kudos none the less.
I think James would look good with a shiny dome.
His parents picked Australia and not SA coz his parents feared SA was going the same direction as Zim. Like many Rhodies believe.
And it has gone the same way as Zim , correct decision going down under
Is this the main show?
Pocock is a typical African boy of his generation. Zimboz of European descent tend to have roots in SA. Plus Zim rugby was part of SA rugby going back 100's of years. On top of that the outdoor culture of Africa.
why is hask always on his phone?
ADHD !
Well said Mr. Pocock re Dan Palmer wihch debunked the LGBGT in Folah. A maverick like Andy Ripley.
What a shame Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 like South Africa 🇿🇦 is a cesspool
"I'm getting the word.... dull"
When people kneel against racism I sure fucking hope they keep this dude in mind in regards to what he had to deal with in Zimbabawe.
100% - racism works in both directions, which is why BLM is such horse shit
@@OldSchool-om2zo I used to be left. It's amazing how many people are lured into their Marxist web. They admitted themselves they're trained Marxists. Wonder where all their donation money went? Hmmm.....
Normally love haskells podcasts but I found he was overpowering almost talking over David on this one 😕. Bit of a shame but still looking forward to the next one
You mean people other than Aussie politicians and civil servants live in Canberra?
Lots of different people live in Canberra, not all government clerks and politicians, it's a nice safe garden city, can be boring thou
Zcool
Can we please have a podcast when Hask doesn't turn it around to make it about himself? 🙈😂
I must admit my heart sinks when I see he is on it.
@@markcole9394 I know I like the guy but had to turn it off after 15 minutes, he needs to take a leaf out of Pococks book and learn some humility.
Hask.we have got one of the best ever no7s.ask the bloody question.shut up.we want to listen to what Pocock has to say🏉🏉
Would you have played if you weren't paid?
Pocock's just a poor man's Haskell.
Pocock was a miles better player
No one shouts at tanks like Hask
Hask rambles too much obviously
So its ok for him to get arrested and that not being a bad role model yet religious views are not OK. 🤔
This has become the most boring pod in Rugby.. Omg what happened??? Bring Elma back and lose the big and boring Husk. Who cares what you did Haskell you’re boring AF😂 I maybe a bit too in love with yourself…
Unpopular opinion, as much as I love these podcasts they are just getting too long. You want an hour tops had to watch this in instalments! The David Pocock documentary on Amazon is shorter than this
Pockok is an attention seeking, self-righteous throbber but to be fair to him, he was virtue signalling way before it became cool.
Who hurt you ??
What do you expect he is from Canberra, boring bugger
