O’Gara raises hope of Paulie double act

Ronan O’Gara says he would love to link up with Paul O’Connell on a joint coaching ticket at some stage in the future.

And with O’Gara having six months ago declared his desire to coach Munster at some point, Reds’ supporters will be excited at the prospect of the dream coaching ticket emerging in the years ahead.

O’Gara has launched his coaching career with his high-profile move to Racing Metro and said he would also encourage O’Connell to follow him to France when his playing days are over.
