MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former Australia bad boy James O'Connor is sticking close to the team hotel and no longer heading out on nocturnal adventures as he bids to reignite his Wallabies career, according to scrumhalf Will Genia.

The 29-year-old O'Connor, once renowned for his party-boy lifestyle, could be set for his first test in six years against Argentina should he be picked for the second Rugby Championship clash in Brisbane on Saturday.
