Ronan O'Gara insists he enjoys a 'respectful' relationship with Leo Cullen even if the pair have often been adversaries during their careers.
The Munster legend faced off with the Leinster stalwart on many occasions as a player when the rivalry between the two provinces was arguably at its peak.
That rivalry has renewed in recent years with Cullen and O'Gara managing two of the best teams in Europe in Leinster and La Rochelle respectively. They've crossed paths in the last two Champions Cup finals, with O'Gara's side twice winning epic battles late on.
