Leading Wallabies five-eighth contender Tom Lynagh has thrown his support behind James O’Connor earning a shock Test recall, as he shed light on the mentorship role he played that inspired his own career-best form. Reds star Lynagh has emerged as a chance of claiming Australia’s No.10 jumper for the British and Irish Lions tour, having developed a strong running game to complement his booming boot, and has Queensland on the cusp of a top-four Super Rugby finals berth. Lynagh earned his maiden four international caps off the bench last year, as O’Connor – the Wallabies’ playmaker on the Lions’ triumphant tour 12 years ago – worked with him behind the scenes. “A lot of it was on game management and how to go about playing different situations in the game,” Lynagh said.
