Queensland Reds playmaker James O’Connor has clinched the 2021 Harvey Norman Super Rugby AU MVP award as voted by fans.

O’Connor claimed 30% of all fan votes, followed by teammates Taniela Tupou and Hunter Paisami who came in second and third position respectively.

The 30-year-old has captured the hearts of Australian fans this season and starred as interim captain while Liam Wight was out with injury.

O’Connor finished the regular season as joint top point scorer, alongside Melbourne Rebels playmaker Matt To’omua.

The Reds fly-half has his sight set on the upcoming Super Rugby AU Final, with the Reds hosting the Brumbies at 9.45pm Saturday.
