O’Gara hoping to banish Blues

RONAN O’GARA has every reason to remember his last big game for Munster against Cardiff.

He was but a raw recruit at the start of an illustrious representative career, and it was a pretty chastening experience.

The statisticians are having a field day this week remembering that Munster have never beaten the Blues at this level. O’Gara was on the Munster side hammered 43-23 in 1997/1998, so he knows the pain.
