    Wallabies winger James O'Connor facing Bledisloe Cup axing after no-show at the Wallabies World Cup announcement

    WALLABIES star James O'Connor faces being stood down from the Bledisloe Cup clash next Saturday after the Australian Rugby Union launched an investigation into his mysterious no-show at the Wallabies' World Cup announcement.

    O'Connor was presented with a "please explain" letter last night by the ARU after the 21-year-old missed the Wallabies' team photo and 30-man squad presentation on Thursday morning following a night out in Sydney.

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    Like the Brumbies, the rebels have also begun pre-season training.

    Don't all players except the Captain share a room with a team mate?

    Erm, don't think so, jono - not when about to be named in a RWC squad. Like to think that if I had been blessed with his abilities, I'd be showing enough respect to show up.

    What, got pissed and failed to turn up to the biggest moment so far in our career, it's like failing to show up on the day you're promoted from the floor to the head office!

    yeah, it is a bit much, we know next to nothing about it. I have slept past my alarm and missed a flight, so this shit happens.

    About time he started being listed as a Rebels player. This is not the behaviour of a player!

    Officially he in a employee until the 31st December.

    I propose that RWA fine him 16 match payments for bringing the brand into disrepute.
