SYDNEY (Reuters) - Light on match practice and heading for retirement, David Pocock nevertheless remains a key player for Australia and is determined to make the most of what will be his third and final World Cup.

A semi-finalist in 2011 and a finalist four years later in England, the openside flanker has been in and out of the team since, with a year-long sabbatical and a string of injuries limiting his contribution as the Wallabies struggled.
