Ronan O'Gara set for surprise move to New Zealand - Report

By Fred Culazzo

Reports in the Irish media this morning suggest that Ronan O'Gara is set for a surprise move to New Zealand where he'll take up a coaching position alongside Crusaders coach, Scott Robertson.

According to the Irish Examiner, the ex Munster man and current Racing 92 defence coach, will join the Super Rugby champions next season.

O'Gara has been coaching the French side since 2013, with the highlight coming last year when Racing 92 won the French championship against Toulon.

As a player, O'Gara boasts a Six Nations Grand Slam with Ireland & two European Champions Cups with Munster. He also participated in three Lions tours, including the ill-fated trip to New Zealand in 2005.
