Crusaders Lining Up Ronan O'Gara

According to reports in the Irish media, current Racing 92 assistant coach Ronan O’Gara is set for a shock switch to Christchurch, New Zealand where he is expected to take up a coaching position alongside Scott Robertson.

The Parisians are bracing themselves for O'Gara's exit in the next couple of months, with an initial two-year contract on offer from the reigning Super Rugby champions.

An IRFU source said O’Gara is “99% certain to take the plunge” and move with his family to New Zealand in the new year.

The Munster and Ireland legend has been coaching at Racing 92 since 2013, helping the team win the French championship against Toulon in 2016.
