There is some very worrying news emerging from France this afternoon.
It has been reported that 25-year-old James O'Connor suffered a heart attack on Sunday as his Toulon side returned from their top 14 victory over Oyonnax. O'Connor, who signed for the European Champions Cup holders last year, is expected to be out of action for the foreseeable future according to the report from French outlet Var-Martin. https://twitter.com/MartGillingham/status/703255660155297792 It's claimed that teammate Mamuka Gorgodze offered initial treatment to O'Connor, a utility back who has 44 caps for Australia, before he was taken to Saint-Anne hospital upon return to Toulon. Toulon have yet to issue a definitive return date but it's expected that he will to be out of action for a considerable length of time. https://twitter.com/emma12960/status/703255556488876033 https://twitter.com/Cait_7/status/703255534145814528 https://twitter.com/Maz_Tigers/status/703255283791994881 https://twitter.com/Wilson6MB/status/703260745446899713Explore more on these topics:
