Approached to write a World Cup diary during the recent (unsuccessful) Wallaby campaign, the book, entitled Openside: My Journey to the Rugby World Cup, became a confessional of sorts for the 23-year-old Wallaby flanker. In it, he tells of how he developed an eating disorder as a teenager when his family fled Zimbabwe, and how that drove him to try and become a world class rugby player.
But while many sportsmen put pen to paper as a way to make a quick buck, Pocock is using his tell-all autobiography as a way to help kick start some fundraising for charity. Every cent made from the proceeds of the book will be donated to charities via his new website, heroesboots.com
If you’re a rugby fan, go and pre-order a signed copy today, not just for the story, but for the social activism it inspires.
