Jenkins: O’Gara a legend of the game

FROM one Lions fly-half to another, Neil Jenkins paid tribute to Ronan O’Gara as he prepared to join his Welsh star in the 1,000-point club.

O’Gara, who will play his 107th international game this evening, needs just two points to become just the fifth player in Test rugby to reach 1000 points to join Jonny Wilkinson, Dan Carter, Jenkins and Diego Dominguez.

The Ireland fly-half also leads the Six Nations points list on 543 to Wilkinson’s 541 and, rivalries aside, the Wales skills coach is full of admiration for O’Gara’s achievements.
