The man, the legend.

There are some people that just transcend sport. Ronan O’Gara is an Ireland and Munster rugby legend who personified the will to win every time he took to the pitch. Yet despite being one of the country’s most beloved sport stars, there’s still a sense of mystery surrounding the man himself.

So any chance to listen to ROG give his thoughts on his career and his motivations is always welcome. We sat down with him as part of our Frank & Honest interview series and the result was every bit as interesting as you’d expect.

The chat covers everything from his career highlights to his biggest rivals to the one kick that he’d love to take again. ROG also gives us the lowdown on that infamous meeting with the queen in Stormont and what actually happened on the day.

“I addressed it in my book but no-one read my book!” he joked.

Check out the full interview for all this and more.
