DAVID POCOCK has warned Billy Vunipola: I’m out to get you! The world’s best back-rower is desperate to terrorise England again in the Green and Gold shirt of Australia.
Wallaby hero Pocock destroyed the Red Rose men in the World Cup and is now eyeing-up his opposite number and No 8 Vunipola.
He said: “Billy is someone we’re gonna have to stop.
“He gets through a huge amount of carries – by far their biggest carrier of the ball, gives them that momentum and go-forward ball.
“I feel England have moved forward. They obviously have new coaches and a new mindset. We are expecting a huge contest.”

Australia boss Michael Cheika has blooded three news caps into their starting line-up and one more on the bench.
And Pocock added: “This is huge. It’s the first three-Test series in 100 years or something. That’s amazing.
“You’ve got to prepare well every week and earn it every week. That’s one of the exciting things. We’ve got a bigger squad.
“Cheik’s clearly giving guys opportunities based on form. That’s brought energy to the group too.”
