Page pays tribute to “exceptional” O’Connor

“When you are playing consistently to the level he is every week, then I am not surprised that internationally they will be looking at him.”
“He does do a lot of travelling and we have to manage that differently to the others, but sometimes you have to pull the reins on him.
“He wants to be on the training pitch all the time, but you don’t win games on a Friday morning, that’s on Saturday at 3pm.”
