‘Johnny Concrete’ cements new two-year deal with Wasps

IRELAND flanker Johnny O’Connor, used as a replacement in last weekend’s Triple Crown win over England, will play for London Wasps for another two years after penning a new contract.

The Galwayman, who ventured across the water from Connacht in 2003, is one of five players including Josh Lewsey and Joe Worsley who have agreed deals with the reigning Guinness Premiership champions.

O'Connor, who racked up his 12th Test cap for Ireland last Saturday at Twickenham, has seen his career blossom since joining Wasps.
