O’Gara rubbishes retirement talk

Munster and Ireland rugby legend Ronan O’Gara has rubbished talk of retirement and even admitted a fourth consecutive Lions Tour next year is in the back of his mind.

O’Gara, however, stressed that his current focus is improving on what he believed was one of his best seasons last year.

He admitted: “For the World Cup (last year) I put everything into that and it went so well from a personal point of view that I was probably re-energised and re-focussed. I think when you step back, you can become very insular in this game and you have to appreciate how lucky I am, and besides, why would I stop when I’ve probably had one of my best seasons last year?’’
