Fardy happy in the shadows...

Australia forward Scott Fardy is more than happy to go about his business without too much fanfare.

“I like being in the shadows and not being as noticed as much as those two, it's quite enjoyable," said Fardy.

"But obviously it's a real honour to play alongside Pooey (Pocock) and Hoops (Hooper) because they are both really good players.”

Pocock is set to return this weekend and Fardy looks forward to have his Brumbies team-mate back in the side.

“I think it'll be great to have Dave back," he added.

"We are always looking to have guys like David, who is a special player, back in the side. But we're very confident in the back row depth that we have got.”
