Ronan O'Gara is not angry.
The Irish manager returned, with bitterness and in a press conference, to the defeat of Stade Rochelais this Saturday in Lyon (28-17).
A setback which puts La Rochelle in a small 8th place in the Top 14.
“This week the players were more focused on real estate prices on the Île de Ré
,” O'Gara first said.
Before adding:
“We had 33% of missed tackles in the first period.
And in the second half, we continued to play touch

“If I can give a solution after this, I'm a genius. This is not my vision of how to represent your club on Saturday afternoon. We are not a club that respects its supporters, its family. It was quite shameful
. ”
Ronan O'Gara also railed at the referee, in particular about the try refused to Joël Sclavi.
“Despite all our weakness, we were not helped.
We saw the role of the TMO at Murrayfield last week.
There, we scored a try by Sclavi and we did not call on it.
For what ?
When do we call him?
When we want ?
And as luck would have it, it falls on the away team
