McGahan confident O’Gara can find shooting range again

TONY McGAHAN is confident Ronan O’Gara will relocate his shooting range in time to strengthen Munster’s Heineken Cup challenge in back-to- back games against French champions Perpignan, starting with Friday’s clash at Thomond Park.

The Munster coach made it clear when announcing a 27-man panel in Limerick yesterday that O’Gara’s place in the team was not in jeopardy, even though he conceded that any player, no matter how high the reputation, could be dropped if circumstances so dictated.

Right now, insisted McGahan, there were no such circumstances in relation to the highest scorer in the history of the competition, as he explained: “Yes, any player is droppable, and in relation to his (O’Gara’s) kicking, my thoughts are that he has been a high class kicker for a long period of time so he certainly knows within himself of where he is at in respect of that part of his job.
