O’Connor could miss All Blacks Test
2 Jul 2012
James O’Connor has torn a hamstring and is in doubt for the Wallabies’ opening Rugby Championship game against the All Blacks.
O’Connor aggravated an old injury when making his comeback to rugby last Friday, and it’s been confirmed that he will play no further part in the Rebels’ Super Rugby campaign. He faces up to two months on the sidelines, which means he is unlikely to be ready for Australia’s first Test on 18 August.
The Rebels could also be without Kurtley Beale for their first tour match against the Lions. Beale took a heavy knock in the match against the Reds and missed Sunday’s flight to South Africa. Beale will be reassessed on Tuesday and a final decision on his availability will be made.

Perhaps it’s that stupid haircut he is sporting.
Drew Mitchell used to have a stupid haircut, the second he shaved it off he became a far better player. O’Connor should do the same.

If the injury is in direct relation with his poor haircut then he is lucky he did not lose a leg!

As bad as Bieber’s(O’Connor) haircut is no one has a worse haircut than Jacques Potgieter. He looks like big poefter and played like it too vs England

I hope he recovers for the Bok game, he deserves what’s coming to him
Have your say
