Ronan O’Gara will not let his new 10-week French rugby match-day suspension affect his decision-making process following approaches from the RFU about the England job.

The former Munster and Ireland legend was tight-lipped yesterday about the suspension he picked up from Top 14 bosses, his second match-day ban this season, which will keep him away from his duties as La Rochelle boss until January 30. He said the process was still live, suggesting he and his club, the defending Heineken Champions Cup titleholders, may appeal the punishment handed out by a special commission comprised of officials from the Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR) and the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR).
