Has happened to me before and he will make a quick recovery, it sounds worse than it is, great player yet to light up the Rebels but I hope to see it in the near future he is world class

He is a much tougher kid than his looks would have you believe.

Good luck James.

I'm always impressed by how physical O'Connor is in the game, and how he is prepared to take the pain and knocks. But this injury is considerably more than the usual, and it's not just about character.

Wishing you a swift recovery and an absolute minimum of pain while on that journey, Mr O'Connor.

Happened to Mike Tindall as well after a very awkward fall from a Lee Bryne tackle, Tindall thought he was going to die at one point !!

Horryfying injury this one, similar to that suffered by Wilkinson a few years ago although not quite as bad. But just shows the extent of physicality experienced at the top level. Backs with real talent like O'Connor have to be close marked and probably take more stick than those whose skills are less developed. I wonder how long it's going to be before we hear of a fatality at this level, retirements due to chronic injury are on the rise, watch this space.
