The La Rochelle head coach texted Sexton earlier this week to try and meet up for a coffee but their schedules haven’t allowed it

Ronan O’Gara has promised that his La Rochelle team will look to ‘get stuck in’ to Johnny Sexton when they face Leinster in Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup final in Marseille.

The Leinster out-half and captain has been targeted by opposition players and coaches all through his long and illustrious career but O’Gara framed his assertion in a context of unequivocal respect for his old teammate and rival.
