Did you know?: Ronan O'Gara was born in San Diego and has been on two British Lions tours, famously suffering at the hands of Duncan McRae when on the receiving end of one of the worst incidents of on-field violence in recent history. O'Gara's last-minute conversion against Gloucester on January 18, 2003 helped Munster to a 27-point victory which took them through to the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Leicester Tigers at Welford Road at the expense of Gloucester; this match against Gloucester has become etched into Munster Rugby's Folklore as: The "Miracle Match".
