Ronan O'Gara has revealed how he had to stay strong as doubters reckoned he was 'out of his depth' in his first job as a head coach.
The Corkman has silenced the critics after overcoming a tough start to his triumphant first season as La Rochelle's new head coach.
Although he brought an already glittering coaching CV to Les Maritimes, O'Gara knew that doubters were questioning his appointment after he was part of a disappointing end to the previous season and a slow beginning to this one.
