Dan Carter: Ronan O’Gara has bright future at top of the game

Dan Carter worked with some of rugby’s most successful coaches over the course of his 13 seasons with the Crusaders and the All Blacks including Robbie Deans, Todd Blackadder, Graham Henry and Steve Hansen.

He knows a good coach when he sees one. In Ronan O’Gara, Carter clearly sees a good one.

Carter arrived in Dublin yesterday on the back of news that O’Gara’s stint coaching with Racing 92 would extend through to 2019 at least which, coincidentally, is the same point at which his own contract with the Parisian club is due to expire.
