O'Gara heeded wake-up call
Wednesday February 10 2010
Ronan O'Gara admits his demotion as Ireland's first choice fly-half last autumn forced him to address his loss in form.
O'Gara will continue in the number 10 jersey for Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash with France in Paris with a fit-again Jonathan Sexton likely to feature on the bench. It will be his second start since losing his place to Sexton for the 15-10 victory over South Africa in November.
"It hurts when you're dropped. It's very disappointing, especially when you care about the team so much," said O'Gara.
"When you're dropped there's no need to panic. I had to go away, sort things out and come back.
"Small things at this level make a big difference, there was nothing big that needed changing."
