Wallabies recall veteran James O’Connor at No 10 for South Africa showdown
The Wallabies have recalled veteran James O'Connor to play as the team's fly-half for their upcoming Rugby Championship match against South Africa. O'Connor, 35, is making a comeback after a three-year absence from the national team. This move comes as a blow for the Wallabies, as Ben Donaldson, who was expected to share the No. 10 role with O'Connor, has been ruled out of the Johannesburg clash due to an injury sustained during training on Thursday. The Wallabies are seeking to build on their recent third Test win over the Lions and secure a rare victory in South Africa at the start of the Rugby Championship.
