A Prop forward weighing almost 16 stones…..MOST IRRESPONSIBLE
Hope James doesn't come on the show again and gives the middle finger to OTB. No need to try and create drama & controversy like this. James has a great eye for the game & is really easy to listen to & they stitched him up here. It was cringe worthhy. Adrian has a history of doing this – he done it last year aswell about what Matt Williams said about La Rochelle after the final, probably cussed Matt & ROG to fall out. Lazy, boring journalism
Hook line & sinker – those OTB lads don’t know if it pumped or stuffed – don’t fall for it ROG
Lads I love the show but why did ye keep rephrasing the same question for 16 mins ??
Can we please get this man back home imagine what he would do with Munster give him 3 years what would it do for Irish rugby
Rog saying "well actually Leinster are always using blockers so….they're the baddies" without actually saying it 🤌
ROG: how donyou stop La Rochelle
Everyone else: referee the fricking ruck please
Jesus OTB this is weak beer
Love James Tracy's analysis, but he works in media. His comments (made whilst on the clock for OTB) are absolutely allowed to be replayed by the company.
Sure, it's a bit US talk sport radio, but beats listening to Quinny drone on for 30 minutes.
I’ve reached 7m20s. And yere going back for a third bite of the cherry. ROG has answered the question twice now. But it looks like you’re going to push even further – irritating the listener and the interviewee. As well as throwing Tracey under the bus in order to achieve this. Really tough watch.
ROGs behaviour on and off the pitch perfectly matches one another. Eating during the interview tells me all I need to know about him. He can stay in France. Irish rugby doesn't need this brand of chequebook coaching.
Lads, I love all the coverage on OTB, but the seemingly new penchant for sensationalism isn't a good look. Throwing your expert talking heads under the bus isn't a good look, either.
That was cringey. Rage bait. And here we are all commenting and watching. Suckers.
For the life of me i dont know how ROG can coach. He talks like a somnambulant head-injury victim.
Every good team force's on themselves except for ROG who is on Irish radio talking about Leinster
Just seen the solution to the housing crisis – James Tracy living rent free in O’Gara’s head.
Adrian CHEAP SHOT !!!
Truly embarrassing content. Adrian is chuffed with himself for dishing the goss.
O'gara said he wouldn't coach munster because it was a step back, he only backs winning horses or ones with very rich owners.
Not a popular thing to say but I can't stand O,Gara
The only value in otb is that people like O'Gara speak to them. Their drama queenery and sycophancy is hard to watch/listen to. The worst is this kind of hype-mongery and the other presenter who asks questions of pros/recent pros then continuously interrupts them as they answer.
Cheap media hype disappointed with OTB try to make something out of nothing….
This is gas 😂
La Rochelle need to be refereed properly cos it’s just dangerous the way fat lads like Skelton flop on top of the ruck at every breakdown
James Tracey is 100% correct!
100% La Rochelle flop at the breakdown, Skelton is a Genius at it.
A few weeks back ROG was starting rumors about Goodman leaving Leinster and going back to New Zealand, he’s an experienced player of mind games himself!! Everyone does it, and nothing Tracey said will have surprised him
ROG looked distinctly uncomfortable about Treacy's comments were really on the money when you look at last years final. They got away with murder. Full marks to them if ref is not competent.
I loved O'Gara eating. OTB presenters deserved to be disrespected. I wish he'd blown his nose 😄
Who are these anti ROG,ers in the comments? Are any of them actualy irish?
Ronan O'Gara weekly show. all the pressure on La Rochelle
Terrible interview how many time's did you have to push the same question 😕 👎👎👎👎👎
I see that clueless little leprechaun is still working for Newstalk
Worringly, I don't think either realised they kept asking the same question over and over again.
Do we have to have whiny ROG every week, Jess must be a saint living with him. I guess if the rumours are true, he does this cos he needs the money
getting spicy already! going to be a great build up and game
This is a classic example of a couple of devious journalists setting up, a naive professional person (in this case Ronan O’Gara), to respond to what another naive professional person (James Tracy) has said. They were mischievously looking for a sensational tabloid tabloid style result. And in this case O’Gara, took the bait hook, line and sinker and he went with it. The two journalists got their juicy headline making interview. And two sportspeople have been manipulated and used for the benefit of two untrustworthy journalists. This is real down in the gutter stuff and it just ain’t nice. I won’t be tuning in here again.
Adrian is acting the BXllXcks here .. stirring the pot and then saying basically acting the innocent ..ROG was clearly psst off at the end ..
Going forward I bet ROG will be looking for the list of questions pre podcast.
Tracey was 100% right!! La Rochelle lying over the ball all day last year in Marseilles.!!! O Gara rattled by it!!
You can tell he struck a nerve and was right on the money with ROG's reaction
Ronan OGara is a hugely successful coach and was not treated with much respect here. Trying to drag him into such a ridiculous conversation about the breakdown just added more fuel to his fire. He is so articulate about the modern game it would be a shame to lose him He will have little patience for this
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I wouldn’t trust the OTB hosts. this isn’t the first time. RoG took this well and didn’t take the bait.
If Leinster can live with La Rochelle’s physicality they will win. Hard to do.
How many games has ROG been suspended for due to referee related behaviour?! Given a totally free pass and that "some teams concentrate on the game" rubbish 😂
Fair play ROG. Handled that interview really well. The lads did so much to draw him out on James Tracy interview. He wasn't aware of it but handled it so well as always. Very unprofessional by OTB guys
La Rochelle will eat breakdowns as well as ROG’s breakfast. 😊
This is uncomfortable. Regular listeners come for insights into ROGs role and it's usually an excellent piece. But trying to get a rise out of the guy to get headlines off them is a bit cheap really
