Mick Kearney: Every possibility Ronan O'Gara will play for Ireland again
Tuesday 5 March 2013 08:46, UK
Ronan O'Gara's omission from the Ireland squad for Saturday's clash with France does not signal the end of his international career, according to Mick Kearney.
"Jonny has only been running in straight lines. The plan is that on Tuesday he will run as close as possible at full speed and take it on from then. It will be a very important day," Kearney said. "It's very difficult to make a call at this stage. He hasn't been ruled out, but at best he's 50-50. He's done no kicking yet." Lock Donnacha Ryan and wing Craig Gilroy are doubts because of shoulder and groin injuries, but second row Mike McCarthy has returned to full training after recovering from a knee problem.
