Ronan O'Gara has explained why he was pictured with his hands in his pockets when he met the Queen back in 2009.
A number of Ireland's rugby players met Queen Elizabeth II at a civic reception following their Grand Slam success 13 years ago, with Brian O'Driscoll and O'Gara among them.
Former out-half O'Gara insists he did not snub the Queen and described the photo as 'opportunistic'.
