Ronan O’Gara hopes La Rochelle fans will maintain their legendary loyalty after seeing their side ‘humiliated’ at home by lowly Pau in the Top 14 - and promised them he would not make the same mistakes again.

“We were humiliated by a better team,” O’Gara said after the shock 38-21 defeat in front of a 72nd consecutive capacity 16,000 crowd at Stade Marcel Deflandre.
