Class act O’Gara proves a true leader

THERE were many Munster candidates for the man-of-the-match award at Stradey Park, but with seven goals from seven attempts and an impressive all round performance it was inevitable the accolade was won by Ronan O’Gara.

The number 10 was immaculate in raising his game above the atrocious conditions. Whether he was knocking over five penalties and two conversions or handling and kicking with complete assurance, O’Gara looked a class act.

Llanelli targeted him believing a supposed defensive weakness could be exposed, but he stood his ground and put in the tackles as much as anyone. Not alone that, but he seems to be growing into the captaincy role as well!
