David Pocock reveals his incredible upbringing in Zimbabwe

David Pocock reveals his incredible upbringing in Zimbabwe.
Alex and James are joined by one of the greatest players of a generation - David Pocock - for an amazing and wide-ranging 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.

This is a story of real racism in the world. It boggles the mind that people complain about microaggressions when this tuff is still happening every day.

[@absnoir49]

define real? if you're experiencing discrimination of any kind, it affects that person and their world. You haven't experienced anything like it so you find it hard to empathize with people who do. That is the real problem in the world!

@@absnoir49 How do you know?

@@absnoir49 Sh!t talk, I have experienced it and do empathise with people who have also experienced it. What I have an issue with is people whining about perceived racism when it's either so benign to be inconsequential or it doesn't exist at all. You're arrogant enough to tell a total stranger what they have or have not experienced and that they have difficulty with empathy. That's arrogance and self-righteousness bordering on pathology. You Sir, do not seem to have any ability to judge your own problems, never mind the problems of the world. BTW, everyone experiences discrimination of some kind, you discriminate against people every time you decide what to eat, who to spend time with, what to spend your money on etc.

No, it's a case of politicians wanting power in Zimbabwe and dividing the people white vs black or black vs white so they can return power.
