    A return to a Kiwi Christmas of sorts for new Crusader James O'Connor

    A return to a Kiwi Christmas of sorts for new Crusader James O'Connor


    The former Wallabies playmaker has called Christchurch home for a month since his Super Rugby move from the Queensland Reds.

    O'Connor's parents are from Rotorua and Cambridge - he grew up in Te Atatu in Auckland's west before moving across the ditch.

    O'Connor says he's looking forward to a bit of down time at a well known Canterbury holiday spot.
