Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie is confident James O’Connor’s food fights and late night fast-food runs are a thing of the past.

McKenzie and his 40-man training squad, including O’Connor, entered camp for the first time on Monday and the new boss was hopeful the days of needing to discipline O’Connor – or any squad member – were over.

In a chequered five-year history with the Wallabies, the talented but wayward O’Connor has been fined for a food fight at a team hotel, suspended for sleeping through the 2011 Rugby World Cup squad announcement and reprimanded for being with teammate Kurtley Beale at Hungry Jack’s after four in the morning in the lead-up to last month’s second Test against the British and Irish Lions.

O’Connor and Beale also missed the team bus to the Wallabies’ final training session before the series decider against the Lions in Sydney.

McKenzie, though, insisted off-field misconduct wouldn’t be a problem going forward.

“I’ll be making that very clear,” he said on Monday.

“Look, there’s been a lot of talk around this and there’s been some instances.

“I don’t want to think it’s a big problem. I think 95 per cent of the players are doing the right thing every minute of every day, so let’s not get bogged down in it.

“Yeah, we’ll make it very clear what’s in and what’s out and what’s acceptable and I’ll manage that process with the team manager.

“So, in the end, we’ll make it clear but I suspect it’s not going to be an issue and we’ll get on with the business of playing rugby and representing the code and inspiring the next generation of players.

Senior Wallabies had expressed concern that O’Connor, who remains without a Super Rugby franchise next year after being cut by the Melbourne Rebels, and Beale’s latest faux pas hadn’t been fully dealt with.

But skipper James Horwill said if it hadn’t, it would be this week ahead of the Wallabies’ Rugby Championship opener against the All Blacks in Sydney on August 17.

“I think they understand that is not what’s acceptable in being part of the Australian team and we’ve got to make sure that’s clear,” Horwill said.

“Not just for those individuals, but for everyone, once you know where you stand and if you go away from that, then that brings you into a place that you don’t want to be.

“So that’s something that we’ll make pretty clear and have made pretty clear.”
