O'Gara comes full circle

Ronan O’Gara believes he has laid his southern hemisphere ghosts to rest after his penalty-taking guided Ireland to victory over Australia.

O’Gara kicked six penalties out of six in the wind and rain at Lansdowne Road yesterday as the Irish beat the world champions 18-9 for their first win over the Wallabies since 1979, and their first home win since 1968.
