Super Rugby: 'He was the one chasing us' - Chiefs set record straight on James O'Connor
James O'Connor wanted to break his contract with the Reds for a stint at the Chiefs. The Chiefs want to set the record straight on James O’Connor: it was the Wallabies star who was chasing them, not the other way around. Sydney Morning Herald on Tuesday suggested the 30-year-old first five-eighth had a tricky call to make thanks to being courted by the Hamilton-based franchise for the 2021 season. “The opportunity came up to go the Chiefs and I’m not going to lie, it was something I really did think about. I was very interested in it,” O’Connor was quoted as saying.
