Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie said exiled backliner James O’Connor could revive his International Test career if he ‘resurrects’ himself on Australian soil.
O’Connor started all three Tests against the British and Irish Lions at flyhalf but had his Australian Rugby Union contract torn up after a string of off-field problems.
Media in Australia have speculated that the 23-year-old is set to sign a new deal with 2011 Super Rugby champions the Reds in an attempt to become eligible for Wallabies selection again.
Coach McKenzie said that he welcomes the prospect of having O’Connor available for the Rugby World Cup in England next year.
Meanwhile, in the Super Rugby tomorrow the Chiefs face the Highlanders at 7.35pm while the Rebels meet the Reds at 9.40pm.
