The former Munster flyhalf will take up his new position with the storied New Zealand franchise from the 1st of January.

O’Gara joined the Paris based club in 2013 and had been under contract until 2019, but has instead decided to take up the new role alongside Super Rugby winning coach Scott Robertson.

In a statement, Racing said O’Gara would take up the role in a bid to “enrich his rugby knowledge and improve his training methods” and that they “did not want to deprive one of its faithful servants of a great opportunity”.

As a player, O’Gara boasts a Six Nations Grand Slam with Ireland and two European Champions Cups with Munster. He also participated in three Lions tours, including the ill-fated trip to New Zealand in 2005.
