SYDNEY: ACT Brumbies coach Dan McKellar says David Pocock's workload will be carefully managed when he makes his return from injury with the Wallabies loose forward looking set to face the Lions in Super Rugby this weekend.

"He's not going to play 80 minutes. That would be silly from our end. We're just going to manage him wisely and make sure he can string some games together." "It would be nice for him to get some consistency week in week out and build his performance," the 42-year-old added."Even if you're a world class player, if you're in one week then out for a few more it's hard to get momentum in your own individual performance."

He missed two tests last year due to a neck injury and has suffered several concussions with both Brumbies and Wallabies management stating they were concerned opposition were targeting his head and neck to nullify his effect at the breakdown.
