Fresh-faced Wallaby's bittersweet debut

Pollard was a late call-up to the side, so much so that the hooker came with little in the way of clothing."But it's been good. It's obviously been a pretty surreal experience getting to hang out with guys like James O'Connor, Slips , all those sort of guys."I certainly didn't expect it either. I didn't expect this week. I tried to learn as much detail as I could for this week.

"Sorry, I'm just a little bit lost for words. I'm just a bit disappointed. The whole two weeks has been pretty surreal." In terms of the contest, Pollard said he wasn't surprised by the brutality of the competition, but rather the pace of it."I think I'll have to adjust to it. It's just really constant compared to Super and just constantly coming at you with those big bodies.The Wallabies next face the Springboks on August 27 in Adelaide.
