Crusaders endorse O'Connor for Wallabies recall
Bangkok Post
|May 18, 2025
The Canterbury Crusaders say veteran fly-half James O'Connor still boasts international quality and would be a potential Australian match-winner if named to face the British and Irish Lions.
-
O'Connor, 34, has been a revelation for the Crusaders in their climb to second place on the Super Rugby standings, impressing again off the reserves bench in a 48-33 win over the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney on Friday.
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said last week he is considering the merits of the versatile back, who played the last of 64 Tests nearly three years ago.
Crusaders captain David Havili believed O'Connor could be a trump card in the three-Test series against the Lions starting in July.
