O'Connor became the youngest ever Super Rugby debutant when he came off the bench for the Western Force against the Queensland Reds in Week 10 of the 2008 Super 14 competition. He completed the season's final three matches running on at inside centre.
In 2008, during his Australian debut, O'Connor scored three tries and helped Australia beat Italy 31--8. In October 2009 O'Connor "took home the Emirates Western Force 2009 'Rookie of the Year' award and was also named the Wallabies 'Rookie of the Year' at the 2009 John Eales Medal dinner.
In 2010 O'Connor played "11 of the 13 Western Force games and recorded 104 points. He also played 13 of Australia's 15 Tests, and was the 2010 Tri Nations Series' top try scorer together with Mils Muliaina.[citation needed]
At the end of the 2011 Super Rugby season O'Connor signed a two year contract with the Melbourne Rebels. His Rebel teammates will include Waratahs fullback Kurtley Beale, Western Force centre Mitch Inman and 2011 Rebels Danny Cipriani Nick Phipps, and Richard Kingi. - กีฬา
He’s back !! Let’s hope he makes the World Cup squad what a player
The greatest wallaby that never was, so much potential
@DVN ok
He's the Luke Skywalker of Rugby.
I still remember James O’Connor back in Primary school when the family used to live in New Zealand in Te Atatu, he was always the fastest, and loved his rugby 😍❤️ and still is❤️ was shocked to even see him playing ! Number 1 fan for sure ❤️
I enjoyed watching this kid outrun world class players. He was awesome to watch. James O'Connor 👏👏
biggest waste of potential being 25 having 44 caps and missed a few years is crazy such a shame
Agreed. He was overtalented, but waste it all.
its ok he's back and with a vengeance! the Phoenix has risen form the ashes!
Im a South African and this one of my favorite rugby players
He broke the drought even for bledisloe cup that’s a special player. He was a special player with his own nene Milner shudder style. James O’Connor I will remember the name. Abs fan here 😎💪
can't wait to watch him play in 10 years time
Hello comment from 9years ago
too many haters on youtube. this kid is special
Not really a kid anymore and was special.
+Mark Graham Yeah, he's so AVERAGE he's playing for Toulon - the strongest team in Europe - alongside the likes of Giteau and Habana and Drew Mitchell and a whole host of other stars. I should be so average, YOU should be so average! Off the field - he's a twit. But on the field he's still a damn fine player!
Toulon are shite man
Can we get this version of James O'connor back in world rugby please?
Good to see him back. Exciting player💪 from a nz fan!
@Rugbyfor2ife: AWESOME Music Will. Epic. Keep up the great work!
I forgot how good this guy was
Legendary Rugby player
He's comeback! !
still my fav player
use to play all sports. this is one i have not tried. i am in love
He is the Western Force; he's amazingly awesome.
Is he really able to play 10, 12, 14 and 15?? I am impressed!
11 too
Possibly the most talent all round player I’ve ever seen! He can do it all - can literally play anywhere in the back line and prob do a decent job in the back row as well! Certainly flanking! Why did he ‘miss a few years’ or not reach his full potential or whatever?
Drug/Alcohol problems
I love the guy.
He actually makes a lot of tackles, if you focus on him when watching games you'll see how many he does make
this kid is epic and makes me more confident to be a wallabie
this video made me realise how much i miss him from my western force :( great video though.. great song too.
Grande
RIP
Jeeze I hope he comes back into the Wallabies.
He can't, because of the British and Irish lions thing last year, his performance wasn't good so they gave him the boot
I still think he is good enough as a utility back off the bench.
Jonny Thunder He should be starting hands down. Pat McCabe starts for god's sake. Should be (not based on form): 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. O'Connor 12. Tomooa 13. Kurendrani 14. Not actually sure about this - F Sautia?? 15. Folau. This is a team which leaves Beale on the bench,not bad haha
philipeafroboy1 i personally would say 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. Cummins (with him back for 2015) 12. Tomooa 13. Kurendrani 14. A.A.Cooper 15. Folau again though this is just my view i can see why people like Beale, O'Connor, Cooper so on. i Think they just to much trouble to have on the team.
Name of the music please! awesome!
今も昔も格好良いですね😊
If James O'Connor is only a "flavor", then he's gunna have one hell of an after-taste.
wat song is this
Song name pls?
I'll be gutted if he's not back in the gold jersey come 2015.
lol he was not
like a boss
James O'Connor is my cousin.
that step
@RugbyHub Did some edits, its a bit better now. Also changed the music.
this guy is the best of the best he plays for Melbourne Rebels now. (witch i support)
whats the music
he is so slick
Gotta love the number 4 at 5.22 he was probably thinking "thank feck I don't have to run back!...."
Fantastic young player, any Irish blood ?
+Michael O'Shaughnessy No, of course not! "O'Connor" is a well-known French name, or is it Sioux?
Sei un mito
can ya tell me what music you used for this :)?
Damn that kid is good
brilliant video
you should of put in his chase down against tommy bowe but despite that still a brilliant rugby video
Music ?
what is the song called of this tribute?
天才が帰ってきた！！！？！？！？！
can u tell what's the name of song?
@Rugbyfor2ife it sounds like music from The Dark Knight. Is it the music from The Dark Knight?
WHATS THE NAME OF THE SONG??
The first Position ive seen him play is fullback but he is great playing all of them but he play center at the moment with the rebels
After the Lions tour in 2013, he’s not the same player that he used to be.
what were the names the announcers were saying at the end?
OMG MY BRO IS CALLED JAMES OCONNOR!
Brill
in Wallabies he plays right wing, and sometimes fullback. But in that occassion Quade Cooper was injured and he played flyhalf. In super15 he normally plays 10 or 12
Xo
yes lol, I obviously commented before he moved and am fully aware of his present whereabouts
New video.. but with complete TRY edition..
im an all black fan, but i reckon oconnor to do really well and utilize his potential, he should be playing inside center as a second playmaker for the wallabies, i reckon thats where he will do alot of damage!
Deadliest step at 1:45!
Great player I hate watching the Force play without him the rebels are whack
Song?
its from transformers the dark side of the moon, something like that
I posted this over a year ago, at the time he played for the Force.
Парень быстрый, как заяц и вёрткий, как хорь. Не все в регби быки и бульдозеры.
К сожалению, съебался во Францию и все проебал. С 2013 не вызывался в сборную.
should be back in the ARU soon.... ?
why he dont play the rugby championship?
What happened to him? Where is he now?
Back in Australia playing in super rugby for the reds
c'est qui les autres?
My name is James oconnor
4:50
jajajajja i dont know
but he is very good!xD
Sadly he has.
The Crusaders should've signed him
sounds like a slower version of mind heist
What the fucks the song called?
DVN oh okay thanks
How can you not have lea halfpenny in that? or Cian heally for that matter
..
cant wait till the trinations to see how all black new blood does against the ozzies :) all the best to the boks and wallabies
Since he has Irish roots it's a shame he can't play for Ireland!
Well technically every Australian has roots somewhere else since we were colonised by the English
He would be aloud to play for Australia, South Africa ( because his grandparents are South African) and New Zealand (because his parents are kiwis)
Im pretty sure one side of his family is South African and the other New Zealand. Could be wrong though.
This sounds Like Transformers music
*was
He doesn't make many tackles tho
Transformers music lol
needs to pull his head in or he will have anada
4:39 forward pass
Mentors could've taken him from frodo to obiwan. Giteau 2.0
nek minnit rebels
no plays for non
I prefer maxime medard !!
yeah he's been sacked by the ARU and dropped from the team
Why was he sacked by ARU
Justin Bieber
Never haha
Quade Cooper is the best attacking flyhalf in australian rugby, outside him we need solid runners like mcabe and cummins at 12 and 13. If that means that utility backs like O'connor and Ashley-Cooper are pushed out to the back 3 then so be it. Also beale is a shit flyhalf and did not deserve a spot in the wallabies starting xv on the tour
Well that kinda sucks...
I bet if he beefed up a bit he'd make one of the best flankers ever
That was nice James, but now get back to Perth, NRL is not a realistic opportunity for you...
He's good, but Beale is better.
When is drongo deans going to put this kid in at no.12? git rid of useless mcCabe
Is he Gay??
