Leeds Rhinos' Jarrod O'Connor admits his pundit dad still worries watching him

It's not often Terry O’Connor is lost for words but he might be on Thursday.

The popular Sky Sports commentator will be working on Leeds’ clash with his former club Wigan. And son Jarrod is in action with Rhinos. The loose forward, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Wednesday, said: “Dad says he hates it when he does our games as he just wants to watch me rather than commentate.

“He’ll sometimes get lost and just be watching me - and then realise he has to talk about everyone else! He still says he gets more nervous watching me than when he played himself.”
