Bio
James O'Connor, with his elusive running and ability to play anywhere in the back line, is one of the most gifted players in world rugby. Having made his debut for Australia at the age of just 18 against Italy in 2008, O'Connor now has over 25 caps for the Wallabies. His 29 points against France at the end of 2010 made O'Connor the highest points scorer in a Test outside of Australia. An accurate goal-kicker, O'Connor has been playing for the Western Force, but will join the Melbourne Rebels for the 2012 season.
