Pic: Ronan O’Gara couldn’t be less enthusiastic about hawking off this crappy Racing Metro merchandise

ROG is easily the least convincing salesman we’ve seen since Gill from The Simpsons.

ROG is easily the least convincing salesman we’ve seen since Gill from The Simpsons.

When Ronan O’Gara signed up with Racing Metro, he knew that his duties involved looking after the French side’s defence and possibly giving Johnny Sexton a little bit of help with his kicking when he needed it.

He probably didn’t expect to have to help hawk some unwanted club merchandise and in typically frank ROG fashion, he didn’t look particularly enthusiastic about trying to help shift some rather plain-looking Racing Metro tops earlier this afternoon…

The fact that the tops still cost €41.40 even with a 40% discount was the subject of plenty of ridicule in the responses to O’Gara’s original tweet…

… but Brian O’Driscoll was more concerned with the apparent return of a hairstyle he hasn’t seen on his former Irish colleague for quite some time…

Maybe stick to the rugby for now ROG.
