    Expectations have so far been met for former Wallaby James O'Connor in the early throes of Super Rugby preseason at the Crusaders

    Expectations have so far been met for former Wallaby James O'Connor in the early throes of Super Rugby preseason at the Crusaders


    The 34-year-old's fronted media for the first time since news broke of his signing with the Christchurch franchise on a one-year deal in October.

    O'Connor says the pace and style of the Crusaders is an adjustment from his previous experiences in Australia and Europe.



    O'Connor's set to duke it out with Rivez Reihana and Taha Kemara for the starting ten jersey next year.
