    James O'Connor's Crusaders tenure looks like a case of "one and done"

    James O'Connor's Crusaders tenure looks like a case of "one and done"


    The Telegraph reports the former Wallabies play-maker has signed with Leicester for the 2025-26 season.

    The Tigers have been in the market for a first-five with Springbok Handre Pollard returning to the Bulls.

    O'Connor's played in 14 matches this Super Rugby campaign - all but one have come via the bench.

    He's likely to occupy a spot in the reserves for Friday's semi-final against the Blues in Christchurch.
