IRISH RUGBY GREATS Ronan O’Gara and Conor Murray will provide analysis on Sky Sports for this summer’s British and Irish Lions tour. La Rochelle head coach O’Gara and his one-time teammate Murray, who has just departed Munster, will feature either in studio or from pitch-side in Australia in the coming weeks, the broadcaster confirmed. So too will ex-England captain Owen Farrell, who may yet be summoned Down Under in a playing capacity by his father, Lions head coach Andy Farrell.
