Philippe Saint-Andre believes Ronan O’Gara will be Ireland’s head coach one day and perhaps is even the man to succeed Andy Farrell.

The former French boss, currently in charge at Montpellier, who play in Friday’s Challenge Cup final against Leicester Tigers, has watched the Munster legend’s post-playing career trajectory with interest since O’Gara’s retirement in 2013 and believes the Munster legend, who will take La Rochelle into this Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup final, ticks all the boxes to make Test rugby a part of his future.
