Damn Ronan is truly a man's man, straight shooter no bullshit or disingenuous motives, what a superb interview, once again Big Jim doesn't disappoint with his interview!!!!!!
Good to see this .He was awful in the post match analysis after the 2019 WC final,but glad to see his qualities shine through
The only thing the petulant child like O'Gara is famous for in many peoples eyes is his utter disrespect for the authorities and his betters. The silly little boy needs to grow up in a lot of peoples opinions.
Wanker
💯
@@colincorn8678his teams performances say more than his analysis from 4 years ago end of story buddy,
He's a top class coach
The way O’Gara spoke about the Fijian’s was really nice to hear.
Ronan has emotional intelligence leadership
Yes ,he's got great coaching himself along the way 👍🏼
Razor taught him well
Hopefully he comes back home down the line
He is biased towards Ireland
@@menzimngadi6793 Noones talking about South Africa here buddy
Jim Hamilton is carrying Rugbypass at the moment, much rather watch his interviews than the NZ pundits
Definitely true he is a great interviewer and he lets people talk.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big Jim is a good lad.
Spot on!!!!!!
He is my favorite, Jeff Wilson the worst hands down!!!!
25 minutes felt like 5 minutes... great insights, no bullshit and everything a true fan of rugby wants to hear and take away something new after listening to a head coach.
Bang on 👌🏽
Yeow, Ronan O'Gara is a super legend of the game, and his insights into the game between SA and Ireland were pretty awesome. Super diplomatic and high emotional intelligence. And it must also he said that Jim Hamilton is really killing it as an interviewer and pundit, he got Ronan to get intense and share a bit, and he's also such a big fan of the game. One of the best interviews I've managed to catch ever, let alone during this World Cup.
For sure. He has matured immensely over the past 15 years. I hated him as a player, but he is a proper good coach. Similar character arc to Rassie.
The only thing the petulant child like O'Gara is famous for in many peoples eyes is his utter disrespect for the authorities and his betters. The silly little boy needs to grow up in a lot of peoples opinions.
RoG is always like that, every interview legend of a player too
Well said
@@diogeneslantern18Why would you hate him as a player ??
I could listen to O'Gara all day. Has such a high level of rugby knowledge.
Learned a lot in NZ I'd say, he's already a European legend coach and he's only starting really 😮
❤, Munster fire.
@@RazorMouthnot about what he learned in NZ with Scott Robertson and the crusaders,
It's his rugby brain
I have never heard anyone knowing Fijians and not admiring and loving them like Ronan spoke so fondly about Levani Botia. Says a lot about what awesome nation they are
❤
Because they are Christians.
Also about how well informed Ronan is
I know a few Pacific Islanders and there’s something in the bones that us Irish get with them and them us. Can’t explain it but it’s gotta be the sense of humour or something🤷🏽♂️. Great interview.
@@ericmaher2316 I think it runs deeper. Ireland is an island too and has a well documented history of fight for survival and independence and being able to defend ourselves, you could definitely draw parallels with islands
What a brilliant insight into top class rugby. A great interview Jim.
Great interview Jim. You didn't need to say much, and you didn't. I'll play this again and again. This world needs more Ronan O'Gara's
Or even Ronan O'Garas.
Jim Hamilton is setting new standards with his podcasts. Excellent and thank you.
Love his interviews. Boks Office is pretty awesome too.
His anti Irish bs on his previous podcasts has put me right off him
@@eme1468when. Whenever I've seen him talk about ireland it's mainly positive
@@eme1468 Surprised to hear that, love the laid back interview style he has and he makes the guys he's interviewing feel at ease. I also have only heard him talk positively about Ireland
This has to be one of the best, and most real rugby interviews I’ve ever seen. The idea of media prepped players and coaches completely detracts from any personable accounts of what it is to be a real life player/coach in a world we rugby fans love. Why fear being honest? We all aspire to be genuine and to hear someone at the peak of their trade still speak like one of the people returns it to our game. Everyone’s game. Long live ronan ogara and let him be the example frome here on in!
Always cool to hear from ROG. Such an intense, intelligent bloke. Great stuff Jimbo
Grew up playing at the same club as Rog. From 8 years old his name was being mentioned by every coach from U-10 s to the seniors. He lived and breathed the game , born for nothing else. He is the essence of the game. When you consider how slight he is, and the deficit of pace he was lumbered with, it is a testimony to not only his dedication and perseverance but even more so, to his innate understanding and love for rugby, that he went went all the way to the top of the sport.
He still has so much to give to the game through his wisdom and experience.
Of course when I was 10 years old I thought he was just a cocky talentless Langer though😂😳
🤣 Jaysus, not many will get langer but you're spot on. 🍆 😆
You are talking absolute nonsense dude,
Ronan was a good player and is a great coach with a great rugby brain stop making out like he is some god or something
@@ggmm6182 You used the word 'god', not me. You are in fact agreeing with what I said ,just perhaps less effusive about it. Good player - check
Great coach - check
Great Rugby brain- check
I also praised his dedication to the sport. And I also mentioned that coaches at all levels in Cork Con were aware of his talent.
So where is the 'absolute' nonsense, DUDE?
What part of what I said made absolutely no sense to you? You seem bitter and confused DUDE, with little to add to the comments.
Do you plan on admonishing everybody who praised him in here or is it just me?
Surely it would have been easier the stfu and say nothing. Get over yourself petal.
Cork con
@@ggmm6182 O’Gara is top 5 Irish players of all time and is arguably the most talented, exciting coach in world rugby at the moment. Don’t be a fool
Who wouldn't want to play for O'Gara? One of the wisest people in rugby and even minded, impressive man! Go Boks!
Such an honest and pleasant Cork man. He's a friend of a friend, never heard a bad word about the guy.
"friend of a friend" sure bud...
I absolutely love Ronan O'Gara and dream of him being France's coach one day, so we can win the RWC. He should make lectures, he is so interesting, articulate and speaks the truth. I had the privilege of shaking his hand after a game against Racing and he was very nice despite losing to Racing. Great guy
didn't know you were a rugby fan :)
The only thing the petulant child like O'Gara is famous for in many peoples eyes is his utter disrespect for the authorities and his betters. The silly little boy needs to grow up in a lot of peoples opinions.
You have him on loan he'll be back in Ireland eventually
@@sirjamesrecords1432 HUGE rugby fan, I played in high school and for the bank I was working for. I dont give a crap about football, but rugby, man I'm freaking passionate! Favorite teams = Stade Toulousain, Crusaders, Hurricanes, All Blacks, France of course. There is something I dont like about how they play but have to admit Ireland and Leinster are frighteningly good.
And why would you think Galthié is not the man of the job for France to win the RWC ?
This was one of the best interviews i have seen so far. Jim was excellent how he approached this and love that passionate but level headed rugby IQ from O'Gara, he is such a living legend. From a Leinster/Ireland fan. Good luck both teams on Saturday, reckon it will be some game whoever wins
Our munster legend very proud of his 4:12
What an utterly superb interview. Both of you are great thinkers. Cheers from SA.
I'm an Irishman living in NZ and I can testify to O garas words on Fijians salt of the earth.when they smile they light up a room.
Fantastic inteview. What was brilliant from Jim is asking the questions we want asked and ROG being honest with his answers. No nonsense. Great to see.
Well said
This interview wow. I absolutely love Ronan now. What a true gentleman. Good heart. ❤
What an articulate, insightful and frank interview from Ronan!
That's the key to ROG's success. He respects and understands his players and they give it back times ten as he alluded to in this interview.
It all starts there...the rest will fall into place as we have already seen with La Rochelle becoming European champs.
I think Andy Farrell is of the same stamp with this Irish team. As ROG also alluded to is the amazing progress this Ireland team have made in the last few years and that's because of the mutual respect and understanding between him and his players.
Great interview Jim!
It's always nice watching Jim Hamilton interview, this coming from saffa💯
Brilliant interview from a legend ROG. Kudos to Jim Hamilton on this podcast. So refreshing to hear how ROG speaks so lovingly about the Flying Fijians and Botia.
This is what is considered to be a world class rugby podcast. NZ pundits take a lesson, you need one!!!!!
Thank you Jim for a brilliant interview.
And Matt Williams and his shitty attitude nowhere to be found
Great interview,O,Gara is class,no dickheads in our team.😂
Loved that comment too
Jim, this might be the best interview I've ever seen. Ronans honesty and thought he puts into each answer is unlike any other coach but your questions are class man. Thanks for that one. I'm watching it again. Quality
One day I would love to see ROG become the head coach of Ireland. The way he speaks about his country his province my province is lovely to hear! The way he spoke about his Fugian friend was lovely to hear. Fugians are a bit like the Irish-friendly people. As an Irish man, I am proud of what you have achieved through your club and country and now coaching I wish your family and you all the best in the world. Eire go Bragh. 🍀☘☘🍀And to our country Ireland yes we can do it yes dream.
100% agree.... There's this rule in movie making "Show it...don't say it"
I love the very beautiful way he does this....he so poetically shows "OF COURSE I F'N WANT IRELAND TO WIN!!!"
What an absolute legend. Feeling lucky to be a Munster fan since 2004 as an American. Was great to see RoG go through his career and surely on to an international coaching role eventually.
A good lrish man makes me smile,Talks with so much sence,i Hope He becomes an lrish head Coach one day, but for now ,come in Andy and Boys lets get this done.💪
You gotta love old ROG. It feels like he thinks very deeply about every sentence he says, like the world depends on it. He always gives the most charitable interpretation of people when asked. Top bloke.
Empathy, the key to everything good in this world and that includes high performance
And THAT ladies and gentleman is why ROG is the best interview in Rugby.
Knowledge bombs galore
Super interview. This is what an Irish man is, humble, insightful, self-a facing, cunning, articulate with a good soul. So refreshing to have a decent interview - no bullshit just being a human.
All Irish men are different just like every other nationality and the men of each country
@@ggmm6182lay off the keyboard man haha commenting on everything
@@ggmm6182 cool
@@stabcitySB gees for real, i noticed this guy too lol what an ass
So much more informative and constructive than watching the NZ pundits. 💯
Bit like the all blacks at the moment i'm afraid. All hollywood, no substance
@@kierandoherty1600 this is a chat bot
Agree...nz seriously woke...chicks running shows....clueless...
@izakcelliers7307 congratulations…a bot played you. That woman saved your asses during the pandemic.
What a brilliant interview Jim, and confirms that ROG is one of smartest, cleverest and decent mind in rugby. Particularly what ROG says about Botia sums it all up!
Brilliant interview. As a Frenchman, I wish ROG coach France one day. Unlikely to happen but that’s really regrettable
Never say never 😊
If he can't get the Ireland job then he possibly could take the France one
The only thing the petulant child like O'Gara is famous for in many peoples eyes is his utter disrespect for the authorities and his betters. The silly little boy needs to grow up in a lot of peoples opinions.
Why can’t he coach France?
@@LeMerch because we French are so gallically nationalistic that we will never take a foreign coach. We should, though, look at what the British guy (cant remember his name at the moment) has done to our defense...
I am a Bok fan but if we can’t win it I would be happy to see Ireland take it. It would be good for the game.
I’m a Bok supporter, this guy just made me want Ireland winning it .. if it not the Boks
Cheers now lads, let’s hope your sentiments play out. RoG is more than just a Rugby legend, he’s one of life’s great fellas
What a wonderful interview. O'Gara is down to earth and insightful. Jim, you are doing such a job with this channel. Thanks for bringing us so many great chats with rugby greats.
Jim, you are brilliant. Thank you. I'm a Bok fan and have great respect and admiration for Ireland. Irrespective of what happens this Saturday (can go either way) or the rest of the World cup, my ill-informed gut-feel is that Ronan O Gara might coach Ireland to win the 2027 World Cup in Australia. Not saying they cant take this one as well. But lets take it day by day. Ridiculously excited for Saturday! 🇿🇦🇮🇪💚
Hopefully a close match on Saturday. Hopefully no injuries for either side. And hopefully no cards that would take from the game.
I will be shouting ( screaming) for Ireland but I hope it's close and I hope we meet further on in the competition.
Agreed! ⚡💚
From an Irishman, I hope that they don't kill each other
@@readesiun988 it's army "pep talk" ..... don't read too much into it 🙄🙄🙄.
This is the best rugby interview I've watched since Faz won in NZ, great work !
This was the epitome of what interviews should be, candid and open with the heart of the man and his rugby philosophy open for all to enjoy. Jim Hamilton clearly has Ronan's respect and that was very evident. An interview between men of substance.
As a suffering Leinster supporter this was a fascinating insight into coaching and have to agree motive first tactics second. Great businesses and teams are build around strong culture and O’grady shows this in spades - but don’t expect me to cheer for La Rochelle anytime soon.
O'Grady is truly a legend 🗿
@@mrh7742 , Yes, have to give Paul every credit a great human and lover of man's "best friend." Sorry he's left us.
O’Grady 😂
@@Budisgud69 damm auto correct
ROG is just amazing. As a Leinsterman, this lad has broke my heart many at times but I still love his honesty in that all he wants is to beat Leinster. I just hope we can get a one over this lad as some stage. But he is an absolute legend of a man.
One of the BEST interviews I have watched in ages. Great insights about rugby and more importantly human nature and what is important!
Very revealing interview, o'Gara sounds like a very empathetic, intelligent guy
I think ROG would be one of the very few international coaches that could coach the Springboks and truly appreciate the various and complex cultural differences. Such a high level of emotional intelligence. Didn’t want the interview to end! Well done Jim
I was thinking exactly the same thing...after listening to that, would love him to coach the Boks.
Very good point.
We love him in south africa ..he won us the the lion series 😅😅😅😅😅
Wonderful interview of the brightest player/manager in World Rugby. His interview style is very similar to that of Padraig Harrington, both of whom pause to consider the questions put to them before giving a thoughtful on point reply. I could listen to Rog all day and compliments also to Big Jim😊for the questions put forward.
Great comparison to PH in fairness, never thought of it myself but totally get what you’re saying. Nice one!
Harrington comparison is absolutely spot on
I'm a kiwi and was lucky enough to meet Ronan when he was here with us at the Crusaders. But this interview is gold as you see and FEEL what makes Ronan tick. Awesome insight into a Rugby legend.
You really get a sense of how good O'Gara is as a coach. He just comes across as such a rounded manager between his understanding of both the game and the players.
ROG talks straight. No BS. What a fantastic interview. Thank you, gentlemen. Jim, keep up the good work. What you're doing is leaps and bounds ahead of the pack.
It was a slow burner but that’s the best rugby interview I’ve ever heard and there’s a lot in there for non rugby players too. Sport and the human condition..magic
Ronan O'Gara has 200 IQ here - realises that you can not go past the rush defence - you have to go through it. The 7-1 is not the Boks laying down a challenge - Rather it is the Boks knowing... that may be the best and only way of stopping Ireland. Ireland from 1-15 are professional killers( 27 from 29 wins going into this game), Boks have some Talent upfront(Etzebeth/RG/PSDT) and some x-factor in the backline. My guess is Ireland will keep it close to the forwards and snake side to side trying to tire out(heavier and slower forwards)/ disrupt the rush formation. Then send overhead chips through the middle, use Bundi as crash ball targeting a weak inside shoulder/ can even use him as a decoy to lure in the extra defender and kick some contestables vs 2 short wingers.
Was really impressive listening to O'Gara here - guy knows his stuff and yes - no one wants to play the French till they absolutely have to!
Was it Mike Tyson who said "Everybody has a plan until I hit them!"? Well, I recon this Bok team is going to KO Ireland. They will be lethal and clinical. I recon even the 10 will kick properly just like the ABs game. It will be like the world's strongest man trying to block a freight train. He may be the strongest man in the world, but their is no chance in hell he's stopping it
Let's be humble. Any team can win this one. Hope it is the Boks. Bravado gets you nowhere.
@@rorysullivan4913 no need. Boks to flatten Ireland. Time to put them back into their place.
@@7oshiki19Ireland beat the boks only like 10 months ago same players etc,
Regardless of who wins it's not fatal to who loses like o gara said,
Let's see what happens
@@7oshiki19 Yeah- maybe for the actual Mike Tyson, Boks 10 had a nightmare and his kicking KO'd the Boks, Ireland had a plan and they came out on top!
Great interview... thanks for uploading!
Superb interview!!! Thanks Jim!!!
Jim. Well done Sir. Best interview ever. Love it. Thankyou.
Great interview Jim. Just love Ronan, he speaks frankly, honestly and very intellectually. Come back to the Emerald Isle ROG, you’re a treasure ☘☘☘
Absolute genius tactician. Respect that he calls a spade a spade. I ABSOLUTELY hated him as a player (because he was so Goddamn good), but I enjoy him as a coach immensely.
edit: look at the size difference too - Big Jim isn't a dullard by any measure; but take notice at the difference in understanding between the "small" guys ROG ain't a battering ram vis-a-vis a physical specimen like Esterhuizen . I get the strong sense that players like ROG and Rassie (he was a superstar player in his days btw) read this beautiful game like coder in the Matrix and they know the rules so well that they have earned the right to bend it. It's like the Master is trying to explain a Master;s Work to an apprentice - and I'm not referring to Jim, I'm referring to this rest of us. We don;t appreciate that coaching top level or national teams is like playing the highest level of chess - or any sport for that matter. Because skill is one thing; but the truly greats understand winning strategy for the game on a fundamental level.
As to ROG's reasoning at about 9:00 - yes it _IS_ (in my view) Ireland's time.
BUT, with the strife South Africa is facing we need to hold onto this.
We will never have a better time to be 4 time champions. This is it. This is the team to do it.
We will win because it gives South Africa HOPE.
We will win because our players understand what it means to have been there.
Fantastic interview with ROG-so insightful!
Really good interview, what a great player, coach and person Ronan O'Gara is, thoughtful, honest and great personal commitment to Rugby, fantastic.
Really enjoyed that and hearing a top coach get into his tactical stride on how to beat a rush defence . Great show .
Same! Was waiting to hear “box kick or 10 chip over or 10 to 12 chip over”.. but I was wrong and I learned haha
As an Irishman, Rog is an absolute legend. I got fully engulfed in to Rugby when the likes of Rog & Bod were just running the show for Ireland, I never thought I'd see an Irish team like it again even though they arguably under achieved on the big stage. But this Ireland team right now, wow. Rog sums it up so well in this interview, he's everything you'd hope to be and more beyond the game. Would be great if he was to lead the island to big success in the future as coach but for now, can't wait for tonight's game!
My goodness, what a great chat Big Jim with the legend that is ROG.
Great episode, Jim and ROG had a great chat. Ronan is a very honest and insightful guy.
So great to see Ronan come alive when he talked through the coaching technique. And what humility describing his relationship with Lavani Botia. What a great interview.
What a great interview and insight to a winning mindset. ROGs team approach,focus and competitiveness came across so strongly. To both of you, thank you.
Wow top interview with RoG.. Well done
Ill never ever tire of listening to Ronan. One of the best rugby brains out there and articulates it brilliantly
This interview was great. I Wish it was longer. Both of these two have a lot to offer rugby just by having a chat in front of a camera.
Great interview, he's so passionate about his job. Apart from that, I thought I knew a bit about the Irish accent but I have to say his is just stunning ! 🙂
Cork accent.
boy! @@mrheck5311
which Irish accent?...there are many.
@@mrheck5311 Thanks ! Being a non-native english speaker I guess I had only come across the Dublin accent so far.
@@gonzoii148The difference between a Cork accent and a Dublin accent is as big as the difference between a Manchester accent and a London accent, for example.
Absolutely riveting. I could listen to ROG all day. So eloquent! Such a serious rugby man. Loved the slow walking interview. Great job Jim Hamilton.
What a brilliant interview!. So insightful from a down to earth, excellent coach. Good job JH!
great interview such wonderful insights
Amazing honest interesting brilliant interview Jim Hamilton, as an Irishman I really get O’Gara he’s a deep thinker about the game and he obviously likes you Jim to open up like he did 👏👏👏
I could listen to him all day. He is so honest and insightful. What a great person and coach.
ROG was England’s nemesis many a time and obviously i ‘hated’ him (wrong word of course) but one cannot but admire what he has done with La Rochelle, and these interviews show what a thoughtful and inspirational man he is. Come and coach England please ROG!!
Wonderful 'interview.' Enthralling. A man who knows his stuff and has proved it so many times playing and coaching.
Best interview I have ever heard from rugby
Ronan, what a treasure!!
As a die hard Springbok fan of course I want them to win. I have teased and trolled Irish supporters in comments etc just for some banter and laughs. When it comes down to it though, and me being perfectly honest, I really respect the Ireland team. If the Springboks don't win the cup I hope Ireland go all the way 👍 Best of luck lads!
Like wise from an Irish fan , hope we meet in final
To you too. Looking forward to a great game.
One of the best interviews I’ve seen. Amazing insight, what an inspiring bloke!
Great interview 😊
Loved it.
An Irish warrior poet in full flow. Wisdom, philosophy, wit and grit. Well done Big Jim. The art of an interview personified.
Irish warrior poet?
Get a grip dude you are talking absolute nonsense
@@ggmm6182 jesus h christ who hurt you? lmao just arguing everything for no reason, you are either a troll ( and a very sorry one at that as you are way too subtle to be doing it right) or just one really really unpleasant and sad man. There is 800+ people in this here comment section literally prasing the heck out of this man, who is universally acclaimed as a rugby legend and a rugby brain. If you keep looking for the fool and can't find him, maybe you ought to reconsider and look in the mirror
Thanks for this Jim. Great interview with our ever completely honest ROG. He will be Irelands coach someday. ☘️☘️☘️
I loved this interview. So much quality content here.
Great interview Jim - always enjoyed watching ROG play. Great insight into the mind of a coach and who knows one day perhaps coach Ireland!
Excellent! I Never liked ROG as a player, but he's one of my favourite coached/DoR.s in the game! his honesty and total lack of BS is up there with AF!..........Very different people, but equally admirable, and obviously inspirational!
What a amazing interview ROG I like you managing of people. From super stars to really underprivileged who have amazing skills but could be overwhelmed
Really loved watching this interview.
Jeeeeeez! That 24 minutes 38 seconds passed by in a blur. What a great stream of unpretentious consciousness from the charismatic ROG. The interviewer gave him plenty of space to speak. Some great nuggets of wisdom that can be applied in life as well as rugby. I really enjoyed this interview. It was well put together. Kudos to the interviewer, cameraman and editor too. This is one to rewatch. Thank you.
Honest and open
most encouraging
enlightening‼️🔥👊🥂
Superb interview. Ronan's insight into coaching and life comes from an evolved perspective. Great to listen to. I wish we had people in NZ willing to be this frank and articulate about rugby. Instead, we get the same old boring platitudes year after year. Good luck Ireland, SA is an exceptional team this year, but i believe you are better.
Phenomenal interview Big Jim and ROG. From a Springbok fan.
That was an exquisite interview chaps - bravo and many thanks! You asked good questions and let him slowly express some really interesting sentiments!
Great interview, fascinating! So insightful and revealing
Fascinating! Thank you Jim!
About time a decent interview 👏 Off the ball have had him speak pretty much weekly and never got such a valuable insight into so many areas! Well done! #raisethebar
Yes boss!!! Bring it Jim. The best interviews are right here.
Fantastic interview
