Mini-Documentary: From Prison In Paris To The Comeback King - James O'Connor
About this episode
This is the incredible story of James O'Connor: from being super rugby's youngest ever player, through starting against the Lions, exile in France, arrests, injuries and beating the Springboks - this has to be the craziest career story in rugby union.
In this video I tell the tales of James O'Connor from his rise as a wallabies wonderkid to his shock return in 2025 and everything in between. The video covers topics some viewers might find triggering, person discretion advised.
