Ronan O’Gara: Episode 137

This week legendary Munster and Ireland fly-half Ronan O'Gara joined Jarlath for his most in-depth interview to date. Ronan explains the journey from hating Jonny Sexton to missing him deeply after his departure from Racing Metro. He also speaks publicly for the first time about "that photo" of him apparently snubbing the Queen and how he denied himself the fairytale ending to his playing career.

With brutal honesty Ronan tackles the subject of Munster's difficult 2016 season, the prevalence of self doubt in rugby, why Brian O'Driscoll was the only Leinster player he could trust, his 2 year old son practicing penalty kicks during mass, having the Bataclan terror attack occur six miles from his home and why there's rarely ever a knock at his family's door in Paris.
