“Opportunities will come at some stage for him [O’Gara]. We will have a quick chat to the side, we won’t have that chat in the media. He’s just putting a bit of hype around himself I think.”

He adds given O’Gara played 128 Tests for Ireland he might want to be part of the Irish coaching setup first.
