Ronan O'Gara (From The Vault)

This week we delve into the Irishman Abroad Vault to bring you one of our most popular episodes from the series to date - the Ronan O'Gara episode. As Jarlath explains in this episode, personal circumstances got in the way of a new guest appearing on the show this week but this interview certainly does not disappoint. With Six Nations fever well and truly underway, this is the perfect time to re-release this conversation with Ronan. With the conversation surrounding Jonny Sexton and Joey Carberry heating up, hearing Ronan explain his own journey from hating Jonny Sexton to missing him deeply after his departure from Racing Metro is one that will no doubt give a new perspective on the current debate. Ronan tells the fascinating story of "that photo" of him apparently snubbing the Queen and how he denied himself the fairytale ending to his playing career.
