Brian O'Driscoll warns Ronan O'Gara over England job that would be "hard to turn down"

Being head coach of England is one of the coveted positions in rugby, so Brian O'Driscoll can sympathise with Ronan O'Gara saying he'd be more than open to the gig.

Leinster legend O'Driscoll has previously tipped his old international team-mate to reach the pinnacle of coaching and said last year that both the Munster and Ireland jobs could one day be in his grasp. Rumours of England come at a time when incumbent Eddie Jones is under immense pressure and will seemingly be replaced after the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

That means English fans face a wait even if O'Gara were to be offered the position, one O'Driscoll concedes would be "hard to turn down." Ireland's most capped player of all time said the scale of the Premiership player pool makes the England job "very exciting, very enticing," but there's such a thing as the wrong timing.
