O’Gara’s brief at Racing growing

Ronan O’Gara’s role at Racing Metro has increased substantially from the kicking coach position which was announced in May when he made the shock decision to move to Paris.

O’Gara said that it was always intended to be a more substantial role but inevitably the kicking coach aspect was highlighted, given that Jonathan Sexton would be under his tutelage.

O’Gara is now regarded as the third coach with the big-spending Parisians and it was notable in the official match sheets for their games against Brive and Toulon that he was listed in between Laurent Labit and Laurent Travers as the Racing Metro coaching team.
