James O’Connor has extended his contract for the next two seasons, which means he will remain with Ballymore and the Australian rugby union team until the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

O’Connor said, “Queensland is my home. I was born here. I love this state. I like to wear a maroon sweater. This is where I want to end my career.”

“I think we are going to do something special and we now have an excellent team. I am very happy to join and help them move forward.”

O’Connor led the Reds to a Premiership breakthrough, scoring every point in Brumbies 19-16 success two weeks ago to win the Super Rugby AU title.

Last Friday, in Super Rugby Trans-Tasman’s 40-18 defeat to the Highlanders, he took a massive blow but is a good fit to play in Brisbane on Saturday night. Play a high-flying crusader in a critical conflict.

After the Super Rugby season, O’Connor, as Dave Rennie, took part in the Wallabies’ three test matches against France for the first time.

Rugby Association (RA) director of rugby Scott Johnson said: “James is very happy to be returning to the Australian rugby team. I said at the time that he was very grown-up abroad, and I think we’ve seen this for the past two years.”

“James will be the first to say this work has not been completed. Over the next few years, we will have a lot to do in Australian rugby. James’ experience will be invaluable to the Reds and the Wallabies.”

“This could prove his greatest legacy, James also recognizes his role as a mentor to the next generation.”
