Cocks represented the Natal Schools team at the 1970 annual Craven Week tournament. After school, Cocks played for the Natal under–20 team and thereafter for the Natal Currie Cup side. In 1979, Cocks was in the South African Barbarians side that toured to the United Kingdom under manager Chick Henderson, alongside players such as Divan Serfontein and Errol Tobias.

Cocks toured with the Springboks to South American during October 1980. He did not play in any test matches on tour, but played in three tour matches, scoring two tries for the Springboks. On thirteen occasions he was selected on the replacement bench for the Springboks, but never made on to the field in a test match.[2]
