SYDNEY (Reuters) - ACT Brumbies loose forward David Pocock is heading for more time on the sidelines after being sent home from South Africa to continue his recovery from a calf injury that has kept him out since early March.

The 30-year-old sustained the injury in a pre-season Wallabies camp and aggravated it in their third match of the Super Rugby season against the Melbourne Rebels on March 8, Brumbies coach Dan McKellar said.
