Rugby World Cup superstar David Pocock is attracting offers but his manager says the Brumbies and Wallabies back-rower remains committed to Australian rugby for at least another season.

Pocock is reported by Midi-Olympique to have been approached by French club Bordeaux Begles, with the publication also suggesting that French rivals Toulouse and Racing 92 are also interested.

"There are a number of offers that have landed," Pocock's manager, Brian Levin Levine, told Reuters. "None are being considered at this stage.

"David will be taking a break for four weeks, getting over the niggles he picked up during the World Cup. He is firmly committed to the 2016 season with the Brumbies and the [Australian Rugby Union]."

Pocock in August signed a one-year deal with the ARU and the Brumbies for 2016, since when he was a standout performer at the Rugby World Cup. That contract will likely take him past the 60-Test mark, allowing him to play for the Wallabies even if he were playing for a club overseas, and Pocock hinted when he signed his latest deal that he may be interested in moving on.

"I tried to be pretty upfront and honest during negotiations; that I feel like I can fully commit to next year," he told Fairfax Media at the time. "But I'd be lying at this stage if I said I wanted to sign a two or three-year deal and I can fully commit to those years."

Levine said Pocock was reassessing all aspects of his life post-2016, including study options.
