O’Gara prays for mini-miracle

RONAN O’GARA was last night praying for a mini-miracle, in the hope the ankle injury sustained at the feet of Brett Sinkinson would respond to intensive treatment in advance of the Six Nations clash with Scotland.

But O’Gara had another miserable day in Naas yesterday and failed to take any active part in Ireland’s training session.

He admitted: “I was really hobbling around. I am not anywhere near being up to speed on match pace and I’m a bit worried.”
