Ronan O’Gara on coaching with Paul O'Connell: 'It’s no secret that we want to team up'

"It’s a case of trying to get a plan together between us and start competing as a unit, because that’s what we both want to do."

Ronan O’Gara intends to link up with Paul O’Connell in a coaching team but it will be some time yet before he is ready to come home to Ireland, writes John Fallon.

The former Irish out-half, coming to the end of his third season with Racing 92 and having signed a contract extension to 2019, believes himself and O’Connell have to cut their teeth as coaches before returning home.
