The Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden reports from Australia's crushing victory over the Barbarians at Twickenham.
"James O'Connor revelled in his first international appearance at five-eighth when he guided the Wallabies to an impressive 60-11 win over the Barbarians at Twickenham this morning.
"It appears certain that O'Connor will be the Test No.10 against Wales in Cardiff next Saturday after Berrick Barnes was forced off the field just before halftime with what appeared to be a back complaint.
"In the absence of Quade Cooper, who has missed the short Great Britain tour because of injury, O'Connor stood up to the mark as the chief playmaker, mixing his options well and showing courage against a Barbarians side which included numerous international rugby greats."
