Pat O'Connor coming back in Australia

[jauzy19]

But i don't know where. He was playing for french club Agen. With Mumm leaving and Sharpe retiring he could be useful for the Force or Tahs.

I've heard this guy linked to more clubs than any other player.

There was even a rumour he was going to play a year of park footy in Melbourne to get himself right to be an inaugural Rebel, but in the period beforehand he went from NPC to Wallaby Squad and then the Waratahs business happened.

I wouldn't mind having him back at the Force. He was good in 2006 but the double knee job buggered him up a bit.

Was he any good at Agen?

Average. He didn't play a lot

Average. He didn't play a lot

On talent and size alone he'd make most Aussie super rugby 22s (maybe not starting) but with his injury history he'd be a handy EPS pick-up but probably nothing more.
