Ronan O'Gara will be looking to John Hayes for advice this weekend as Munster take on Biarritz. Read Hugh Farrelly's take on their leadership conundrum in The Irish Independent.
"Leadership is not about making speeches; leadership is defined by results."
"The words of the late Peter Drucker were destined for business ears, but could be accurately applied to Munster and their captain Ronan O'Gara ahead of Sunday's Heineken Cup semi-final assignment in San Sebastian.
"Biarritz will be boosted by the confirmation they will not be required to deal with the totemic presence of Paul O'Connell, who, as expected, was ruled out with a groin injury yesterday. However, in O'Gara, Munster have a leader who goes into Sunday's showdown with a clarity of thought and focus, augmenting a pragmatic grasp of the task-in-hand."
