# Rugby: Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt says 34-year-old James O’Connor will be considered for this year’s series against the British and Irish Lions. He played flyhalf against the Lions in 2013, and Schmidt says he would bring versatility because he can also play at centre. The other possible number tens are Noah Lolesio and Tom Lynagh. Schmidt, who departs after this year’s Rugby Championship, says he is determined to leave a legacy that would set the Wallabies up for a successful World Cup at home in 2027.
