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.
