Irish rugby legends Ronan O’Gara and Jonathon Sexton managed to put aside whatever rivalries they supposedly had on the pitch for a very worthy cause.

The duo have teamed up the fundraising body of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, CMRF Crumlin, for the No. 10 Fund.

The fund was launched in order to raise much-needed funds for the Children’s Heart Centre in Crumlin. The name was inspired by the player’s battle for the Irish No. 10 jersey.

The Munster-Leinster rivalry acted as the inspiration for the campaign which is hoping to build a new Cardiac Day Unit complete with vital life-saving equipment.

Proceeds will also be invested in life-saving research to help some of the country’s sickest children.

CMFR is confident that can reach their target of €756,000 for this latest campaign.

Ronan and Jonathon are urging the public to get behind the campaign and help change the young lives who need treatments the hospital can provide.

Every year… 

  • 120,000 Children and their families come to the hospital
  • 80,000 Children attend as out-patients
  • 30,000 Children attend our A&E department
  • 25,000 Children are treated as day cases
  • 23,000 Children are admitted as in-patients
  • 15,000 Paediatric surgeries and 15,000 procedures are carried out
  • 550 Open-heart surgeries are performed on children each year

Former Munster player and Irish rugby international Ronan O’Gara has revealed the perceptions he believes people had of him as a player.

He was at Cork Opera House last night speaking with Newstalk as part of a panel previewing the Rugby World Cup. During their chat Ronan admitted that he knows some people may not have looked too favourably on him.

"The perception of me when I was playing was cranky, narky, arrogant, bit of a w*nker,” he said.

He has also spoken with the Irish Times of late about how difficult he found it when his personal life began to receive more attention than his sporting career, and it wasn’t all positive.

“Obviously it was new when you hear personal stuff about you. Anything but rugby you couldn’t care less but something like a marriage being over when there is absolutely no basis is too severe.”

It doesn’t look like he’s let any of that get to him now as he’s pretty content with his latest gig off the field. He had an interesting take one what life is like as a TV pundit.

"I essentially get paid to sit on my arse and watch the team. It's great. You live like a king."

Sounds like someone is living the dream.

"You've great facilities, you sit down, you've runners getting you tea, coffee, purple snacks, yellow Snacks, sandwiches, chips," he said.  

To be fair, it is not as if all of this ‘purple Snack’ luxury hasn’t been earned. Ronan is Ireland’s second most-capped player behind Brian O’Driscoll and the fourth most-capped in Rugby Union history.

Former Irish rugby pro Ronan O'Gara was forced to publicly apologise today after making an unfortunate remark on Friday night's Late Late Show.

When asked by host Ryan Tubridy whether his proudest achievement was having had five kids under the ages of six with his wife Jessica, or scoring 2,625 points for Munster during his playing career, the sports star answered, "I wouldn't be nervous getting up on Jessica but I would be nervous kicking a ball."

Cue gasps from Ryan and raucous laughter from the audience, with Ronan trying to calm things down by referring to Jessica as "a champion of a wife."

While it definitely made for great TV, it seems Ronan's wife Jessica wasn't too happy about the whole thing!

Ronan took to Twitter today to apologise for any offence he had caused and to let followers know he had smoothed things over with his wife, writing, "Back home in Paris. I have apologised to @jessieog and i'm also sorry if i offended anyone else with my very poor joke on @RTELateLateShow."

Bet there was some serious grovelling done over the weekend!
