Video - O'Gara receives 10-week touchline ban - this decision enraged him
By RugbyPass
Racing 92 coach Ronan O'Gara has received a 10-week touchline ban and has been fined €15,000 it has been reported today.
The former Ireland and Munster 10 received the punishment after he was deemed to have made remarks to a Top14 official during a game.
The remarks apparently came after what O'Gara perceived as an incorrect decision during Racing 92's 16-9 defeat to La Rochelle earlier in the month.
According to a report in the Irish Independent Racing scrum-half Teddy Iribaren was penalised for a no-arms tackle, a call that apparently angered the Munster man.
Head coach Laurent Labit is also currently serving a 15-week suspension for his post-match comments after the same game.
The ban does not apply to the Champions Cup and he will be present when they meet Munster in Thomond Park at the weekend.
O'Gara is not shy of expressing himself.

I don’t think so. True champion sides can deploy all types of games, including a classical trench warfare arm-wrestle. I don’t think the Bears quite have it in them. Not sure a team can win a trophy with highlight reel rugby alone. It’s easier to disrupt it, than it is to create it.

Don’t think the Bears are legit title contenders. You can lose, but not like this. Getting bent over and pumped like this completely removes the fear factor of s team.
