O’Connor’s tough initiation
3rd November 2008, 11:15 WST
Carrying both the physical and mental scars of battle, it’s been a tough first week for the baby of the Wallabies spring tour group.
Eighteen-year-old backline utility James O’Connor has required eight stitches for a head wound after clashing with Adam Ashley-Cooper at training and, worse still, been blackmailed by teammates who stole the Wallabies mascot from him.
It is the Western Force star’s duty to take care of “Wally” wherever the Wallabies go.
Yet he barely lasted a day before Wally disappeared.
“I lost him on the first training session. He was taken from my bag. They broke the rules,” O’Connor said.
“There was a ransom note demanding a bounty with a picture of Wally but I couldn’t see who was holding him because I couldn’t see his arm.”

I think he better get the hang of looking after Wally- something tells me he's going to have the job for a while yet.
I guess the Tahs players have more time on their hands than most...
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
TPN should spend more time learning to throw a ball straight on this tour, rather than stealing a mascot from other players bags.
At least JOC won't go to the Tahs now or in the future !
61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
Looks like AA-C is trying to hang on to his position any way he can![]()

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
a bounty? good grief, go all out next time and ask for a mars bar!
sounds like he is loving it, even with all the lumps and bumps. which is great, because i dare say he will be spending a fair amount of his time with those wallabies
nope, that was rathbone. bloody brumbies! not very subtle sabotage
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...
