O’Connor has a Kiwi itch but Wallabies looking to lock star down for 2023 – Sydney Morning Herald
James O’Connor has held talks about playing in New Zealand in the future but Rugby Australia are looking to lock the Reds star down with an upgraded deal.
After finishing up his Wallabies duties last weekend, O’Connor is on leave but the Reds expect O’Connor will return for duty in January ahead of the Super Rugby AU season which kicks off the following month.
“James is contracted through to the end of 2021 and is a big part of Dave Rennie’s plans for the 2023 Rugby World Cup,” a Rugby Australia spokesman said.
