Transfer Rumours: James O’Connor linked with departure

Sale Sharks’ James O’Connor could be reportedly heading back to Australian rugby.

Eight years on from his infamous departure, O’Connor’s original Super Rugby club, Western Force, has extended an olive branch for the wayward star to return home, according to ESPN.

The former Wallabies utility took to Instagram earlier this week to announce his Rugby World Cup goal and that he was ready to “bleed green and gold.

Coming to the end of my training camp in Iceland and it has been a humbling and truly enlightening experience. I have been pushed into some very uncomfortable situations by @saviourworld through the use of sensory deprivation, heat exhaustion and deep states of meditation. My reaction to each stimulus has forced me to face myself and my darkness in a way that I have never felt before. I now know who I was but more importantly, I now see who I must become. It is time for me to share my truth. I have a deep desire to play for the Wallabies again. I have learnt from my mistakes and I am now ready. Ready to bleed green and gold. Ready to bleed for my brothers. Ready to bleed for the people. I will be back playing in October and I will have my eye firmly on the World Cup. I will not let myself or anyone down again. Time to shine! 🙌🦁👣
