The prodigal son of Australian rugby has returned home on a two-and-a-half-year contract before the 2019 World Cup at a very low price.

He did this because he wanted to fulfill his potential and wear the Wallabies jersey.

After his return in 2015, he donated an estimated $ 500,000 to return to the Reds in a deal awarded by Rugby Australia.

The 30-year-old is currently in negotiations to stay in the Reds and is determined to secure a top spot that will keep the player playing in Australia until the 2023 World Cup.

As well as being an integral part of the Reds' list, O'Connor will be tasked with coaching the next generation of players.

The Reds are expected to welcome Tom Lynagh - the son of the famous Wallaby, Michael - from England later this year and have Brisbane Boys' College student Taj Annan also join the program.

Growing up as Reds under O’Connor’s leadership over the past two months, the Reds and Australian rugby will be indebted to the ‘former golden boy’ who began showing off the 18-year-old Wallabies.

On Tuesday, O'Connor said he was back to feeling much better physically since leaving Europe in the middle of the last decade.

 "While in Europe I suffered an ankle injury for a period of 3-4 years," O'Connor said.

“So I was playing for survival, 12 and 13 there and it's a power game. I was sitting at 95kg and my game was based on strong defense and line attack and I was able to run a short ball and pull it out from behind.

“Now that I am playing 10 I need to be able to close the gap and look for a second touch.

"When I came back the emphasis was on restoring the speed of my leg, which I had worked so hard on, and I felt like I was back."

 "That's just what I do on the pitch and my confidence is to take the players back to them," O'Connor said.

"So don't just be a ballplayer or see the gap you go through, but take someone from one person, use my steps and be able to create for someone else."

Under O’Connor, the Reds have never lost seven games, and last Saturday closed out the top spot in the Super Rugby AU to book their first home final next month since 2011.

He will return the post of captain to Liam Wright when the Reds begin facing the force on April 23.

But the former Australian rugby player said the captain had helped him grow as a player.

"A big part of my growing up to 10 was that I had to learn to work for the team before me, and captaincy at another level," he said.

 “It's not just on the field, it's a lot of things off the field so most of the moving parts come together well and use a lot of other leaders in your team who are natural leaders, who can bring the best of different teams with different nations and just different teams. ”

The 40-man Wallabies training team split on Tuesday afternoon after meeting together in a short camp ahead of the July series against France.

While O'Connor was still training his aching ribs after being hit late in the ball by the Brumbies lock Darcy Swain, the player said there were no serious feelings in the camp and said this method of not arresting prisoners were encouraged.

"I still get a hip joint, an injury there," he said.

"He is OK.

“I like it, I want my men to do that.

“Like when we attack the Kiwi or get together as a national team, you want pressure on their quarterbacks. As you saw in that first Test when Harry Wilson and those guys got into Mo’unga, that’s perfect.

"So when they come to me, I enjoy it."
