    Royal following for young WA Wallaby


    Tim Clarke
    November 11, 2008 - 4:45PM

    Western Force teenage James O'Connor had reached ridiculous rugby heights so early in his career - and his social climbing has reached a pinnacle with meeting the Queen on the Wallabies tour of Europe.

    After making his run-on debut against Italy last weekend, the Force teenager caught the royal eye after the Wallabies arrived in London with his role as official carrier of the team mascot - which always falls to the youngest squad member - securing him a quiet word with Her Majesty.

    The rest from WA Today...........

    “Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White

    The Queen sort of does look like she wants to inappropriately touch Wally..
