O'Gara blast for over-hyped, over-rated English

He also stated that the Irish provinces and the national team no longer suffer from an inferiority complex when travelling to England adding, “we expect to win there now”.

O’Gara’s comments will certainly stoke things up ahead of Munster’s opening Heineken Cup clash with two-time European champions Leicester Tigers at Welford Road on Sunday.
