McGahan stands by his man

MUNSTER coach Tony McGahan wasted no time in launching a staunch defence of Ronan O’Gara after his penalty misses proved costly against the Ospreys on Saturday night.

However the head coach was also realistic in his appraisal of O’Gara’s display in front of goal and its significance on the result at the Liberty Stadium.

O’Gara was desperate to produce a display to reflect his years of experience and assuredness in front of the posts that have made him one of the greatest kickers of all time and worthy of regaining his Ireland No10 jersey.
