Running and Racing in Paris

During the summer, Ronan O’Gara, his wife Jessica and their four kids left Cork for a new life in the French capital. Tony Leen found a family adjusting well, and the former kicker revelling in his role as coach.

PRIOR to take-off on the hop between Cork and Paris, Ronan O’Gara is on the phone to his five-year-old son Rua, afraid he has brought the wrong children’s book back home with him.

“I’m so looking forward to getting back,” O’Gara admits, “even if that sounds an unusual thing to say after only three months.”
