The pair were once fierce rivals on the pitch and battled for Ireland's number 10 jersey
Ireland rugby legend Ronan O'Gara has lifted the lid on his love/hate relationship with current star Johnny Sexton.
The pair patched things up and became close when O'Gara coached Sexton during his brief spell in Paris with Racing 92, but since ROG's move to La Rochelle, the relationship has become fraught given the French side's battles with Leinster in consecutive Champions Cup finals.The most recent meeting between the two teams came in May's final where La Rochelle came back from 17-0 down to win 27-26.
"Yeah, it's been a love/hate, hate/love, hate/love. Probably, at the minute, it's hate", says O'Gara when asked about his relationship with Sexton. O'Gara added: "There's so many different layers to Johnny but there is a really good soul there. I'd like to think the same but, sometimes, perception isn't reality with the two of them. Because you're essentially responsible for your team, when you're the 10, the boss or the goal-kicker and, in his case, the captain. You're trying to drive the team.
