James O’Connor said he is happy to say goodbye to the Test No. 10 jersey and return to the positions that made him an indispensable part of the Wallabies for the past four years.
The 37-Test utility did not rule out playing No. 10 again but has been told by new coach Ewen McKenzie that his immediate future lies in going back to the positions of wing and fullback.
O’Connor said he was looking forward to a less structured return to the Wallabies back line if he is named in the team to play the All Blacks in Sydney.
The Wallabies will host the All Blacks at 10pm this Saturday for the first Rugby Championship match while the Springboks play Argentina at 3am Sunday.
