The Brumbies add Pocock-insurance by locking down openside flanker
By Online Editors
The Brumbies have re-signed flanker Tom Cusack on a two-year deal, in another indication that David Pocock's Super Rugby career is drawing to a close.
Cusack has stepped up this season in the absence of Pocock, who has missed eight games through concussion and a niggling calf injury.
Wallabies star Pocock is not expected to return to Super Rugby after the World Cup in October, with the Brumbies also interested in signing NSW flanker Will Miller.
Cusack played rugby sevens at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 26-year-old wants to represent Australia again at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
His new contract will allow him to play sevens in the Super Rugby off-season.
Brumbies young gun flanker Rob Valetini has already re-signed, while veteran back-rower Lachlan McCaffrey is still negotiating a new deal.

Yeah, Perofeta's injury opened the door for Love to debut. Love's injury in NPC ruled him out of the Bledisloe Cup matches, but Robertson saw potential in him, so he kept him around for the EOYT. However, Perofeta's recovery meant he could return, hence Love being played on the Wing.
Robertson's attitude was just pissing me off near the end of the year, with how he'd go around complimenting the new guys as if he'd always seen potential in them, despite only giving them a chance due to injuries.
