Racing put no obstacles in my way, says O’Gara

Racing 92 owner and president Jacky Lorenzetti tried four times to persuade Ronan O’Gara to pass on a move to Super Rugby champions, the Crusaders, without success, the Munster and Ireland legend revealed last night, writes Tony Leen.

The Christchurch-based outfit have agreed a deal to bring O’Gara to New Zealand for the 2018 Super Rugby season. He will assume the responsibilities as new backs coach, replacing Leon MacDonald.
