It's heartbreaking to listen to how Ronan describes his last match for Ireland and Munster. Because, we only remember the glory. The Pres Munster cups, the Con victories, the UCC victories, The Heineken cup/, the Grand Slam/ He should realise how much he is loved and respected. Couldn't be happier that he led La Rochelle to Heineken Cup glory! Muster to the day I die, and ROG always over Leinster - even if he's coaching a French side! He is special, and long may he resist temptation to accept a poison chalice in Irish coaching. He is wise. It's why he walked away from Irish rugby. He was treated in an awful fashion by the Irish media re the gambling nonsense, his children don't need that scrutiny, neither does his beautiful wife Jess, I hope he remains in his happy life abroad until his children are adults and the scrutiny of any role in Irish rugby will go over their heads.

I’m Sunderland through and through, we don’t do Rugby, but met this man doing a question and answer session in Cork 2018. Unbelievably entertaining and down to earth, at the end of it felt like I’d follow him into battle if he asked as he talked with real passion about his career

Love ROG. A truly legendary playing career for province and country, now a legendary coach in France, and he is only getting going! I hope he gets to lead Ireland to further glory in the future. Takes a driven, special person to achieve what he has, and what is beautiful, is that the platform for his success is love for, and from his family. They've moved to NZ, Fra etc. to allow him to keep growing and achieving, seems the sky is the limit for them. I hope he stops breaking my Leinster heart, but thats my problem. More power to you ROG. Already a legend. And he and his family are nowhere near the end of their incredible story. Ales la ROG!

Old time players in soccer was a game I love and was a few great rugby matches, when these lads came along they brought rugby to a new level and sccoer turned into a lady disco competition run by the stock exchange, This is one sound honest man with real class, class is not money or flash cars, it's what real men wish to aspire to and everything you would like you kids to aspire to while understanding the difference. Any trol that doesn't get the soul of this man I feel sorry for their lack of intelligence. I wish this man nothing but good luck and a long life and happy healthy one, for him and all his obvisouly class family. As my father use to say, fk the begruders.

Irish rugby in 2021 needs someone to step up and challenge Sexton for his position the way he challenged O'Gara.
