James O'Connor is appointed as the playmaker for the Wallabies following Ben Donaldson's injury during training. Initially, O'Connor was to share the No 10 role with Donaldson in the first Test of the Rugby Championship against South Africa. With Donaldson injured, the Wallabies face challenges in finding suitable alternatives for playmaking. O'Connor last played for the national team in 2022 and comes back after a successful Super Rugby season. With other injuries affecting the squad, O'Connor's experience will be crucial for the upcoming match in Johannesburg.
Veteran James O'Connor is taking on the playmaking duties for the Wallabies as they look for a win against South Africa despite an injury to Ben Donaldson, which complicates their plan.
O'Connor's return to the Wallabies comes after three years, and he is seen as a reliable choice following a series of fly-half issues that the team has faced.
