Champions act like champions long before they are champions

SO where was I before you left me for the GAA Championship?, asks Ronan O'Gara.

Brive, an average Top 14 side, put 32 points on us last Saturday. We won handy, but conceded four tries. That’s a frustrating set of numbers for a defensive coach to digest against an average side.
