Ronan O'Gara: The mad mad world of rugby isn't half settled

I’m involved in this wonderful game for over twenty-five years as a professional and I’ve never disrespected it. I don’t pretend to understand how a ten-week ban was arrived at but how dare they accuse me of damaging the best interests of the game.

GAME-CHANGER: La Rochelle's Arthur Retierescrambles over for the winning try in the 2022 Champions Cup final against Leinster in Marseille.

THERE’S such a surge of rugby comings and goings this week, that keeping up is about all I can manage. From Warren Gatland arriving to Eddie Jones leaving to the Heineken Champions Cup looming. Some of us, meanwhile, are staying where we are and happy to do so. 

Well, almost happy.
