RONAN O’GARA HAS admitted he wants to coach Ireland after guiding French side La Rochelle to back-to-back Heineken Champions Cup triumphs.
O’Gara told the BBC’s Rugby Union Weekly podcast: “Yes, of course, I want to coach Ireland as well but you have got to earn that right.”The 46-year-old, appointed by La Rochelle in June 2019 after coaching spells at Racing 92 and New Zealand side Crusaders, said the victory was one of the highlights of his career as both player and coach.
“I’m just proud of the character of the team, 17-0 down and away from home, they could have easily found a way to find an excuse but these boys have character and character is important in sport. We are probably beginning to be seen as a special team and I think the boys deserve to be there.” O’Gara, Ireland’s record points scorer and second-most capped player with 128 appearances, spared a thought for Leinster, who have lost in three of the last five Champions Cup finals after winning the title in 2018.
