Henderson: Bring O’Gara back in

RONAN O’GARA should be handed the out-half jersey for Ireland’s crunch World Cup outing against Australia, according to the Munster man’s former international and provincial teammate Rob Henderson.

Jonathan Sexton was not at his most commanding in the lacklustre opener against USA. While the Leinster pivot was not alone, and some observers have pointed the finger at the centre partnership as the cause of many of Ireland’s ills, Henderson argues O’Gara is the man required.

“This weekend, personally I think that Ronan O’Gara should start,” said Henderson, who joined Heineken Rugby World Cup ambassadors Will Carling and Zinzan Brooke to record a Rugby World Cup videocast for Heineken.ie.
