MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Flyhalf James O'Connor flew out of Australia on Monday with no guarantee he will play another test for the Wallabies but let everyone know he wants to be back for the final Rugby Championship clashes against New Zealand.
O'Connor signed for Leicester Tigers in June and had planned to join up with them after the British & Irish Lions series, but the 35-year-old was retained in Joe Schmidt's Rugby Championship squad due to the Wallabies' injury list.
