The power of Twitter, and it has a happy ending too.
Running just a tad late for a flight out of Paris, Ronan O’Gara took to Twitter to let the airline know that he was running late. The airline didn’t offer the Munster and Ireland legend any special treatment and those watching the drama unfold live were left to see if O’Gara would make the 21.50 to Dublin.
