O’Connor move
Print Edition
Australia back James O’Connor is expected to sign a contract with England Premiership side London Irish having been released from his Australian Rugby Union contract this month. The 23-year-old, capped 44 times, has been involved in several disciplinary issues, including being escorted out of Perth Airport for drunken behavior last month, and was unwanted by any of Australia’s five Super franchises after being dumped by the Melbourne Rebels. “He’s a world-class player, he’s a terrific kid and I’m sure that will all be unveiled at the front end of this week,” London Irish coach Brian Smith told the Sydney Morning Herald. “Any team in England or in France would be lucky to have him.”
