ALAN QUINLAN WENT through three stages of emotion watching Ronan O’Gara on the Late Late Show last week – shock, laughter and mortification.
The former Ireland flanker listened to O’Gara’s interview with Ryan Tubridy and was surprised at the out-half’s answer to whether he was prouder of all the points he scored in his career or his children.

“I was shocked initially,” Quinlan said.
“But knowing Ronan and Jessica as I do I knew that it was a slip of the tongue and he didn’t really mean it in the way it came out. Jessica took it in good spirit anyway.”

ROG has since tweeted out an apology and his wife’s response on social media seemed to suggest that she had forgiven him for his outburst.
Quinlan was advocating for a harsher punishment although did enjoy O’Gara getting some stick for the suit he wore on television for the Ireland game on Saturday.
“I was advising her to beat the head off him,” he laughed.
“But I think she needed her helper back in Paris. I was slagging him over the weekend for looking like Al Capone.”
Does O’Gara look like the prohibition-era gangster?

Looks a bit more like Rory McIlroy to us.
