Ronan O'Gara had a cryptic conversation with Jake White about the Munster job

In his Irish Examiner column tomorrow, Ronan O'Gara talks about his meeting with current Montpellier coach Jake White before Racing's Top 14 visit last week.

Decorated coach White led his native South Africa to World Cup glory in 2007, and is the kind of world-renowned name many Munster fans covet for the province's Director of Rugby position.

O'Gara feels the conversation should at least encourage Munster chiefs to pick up the phone.

"I had an interesting few minutes before the Montpellier game with Jake White.

"It didn't take long for him to ask what was the story with the Munster Director of Rugby position, and who did I think were the leading contenders. No more was said. We both smiled.

"Is he interested?

"One way to find out."
