O’Gara cools “farcical” talk on France link up

Ronan O’Gara has dismissed as premature speculation he is poised to ink a deal with the French Rugby Federation to join their World Cup coaching ticket.

He said tonight he’d had a conversation with an agent in France, but that had spread across three days of coverage in the French media. Such unfounded presumption was “farcical”, he told Off The Ball on Newstalk last night.
