O’Gara rules out France role at World Cup vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Crusaders assistant coach and ex-Ireland fly-half Ronan O’Gara has ruled himself out of helping under-fire France coach Jacques Brunel at this year’s Rugby World Cup.“There were one or two approaches from an agent, that’s as far we’ve got,” O’Gara said when asked on Radio Sport New Zealand about a potential departure for French soil.
O’Gara, who won 128 Irish caps and is a fluent French speaker after spending four seasons as a coach with Top 14 side Racing 92, added: “It’s not a distraction. These are all conversations that happen. Next week it will be someone else.”The former playmaker also acknowledged he’d be more interested in being involved with Robertson’s set-up should the Crusaders coach make the step-up to the All Blacks, with current coach Steve Hansen to step down after the September 20-November 2 World Cup.
Laporte did not name any possible replacements for the 65-year-old Brunel, who has been in charge since 2017, but said he had “gone to meet the five best coaches in the world to offer them the job”.
