[edit] Guardian article

An anonymous user cited this as evidence that O'Gara, "by his own admission", has a weak running and passing game. In fact, the relevant quotes from the Guardian article do not back that up:

O'Gara has rarely been given credit for his quality as a passer of the ball.

Quote from O'Gara: "I'm as hungry now as I ever was. I think I'm making good strides in terms of running a bit more. My kicking game has always been sound enough but the running game is coming on a bit. If I can develop that, and up my defence, I'd be happy enough."

Actually, that quote is an admission that he needs to work on his running game.

The New Zealand Herald said that "Ronan Keating would be a better tackler"

Saw this quote: http://www.houseofharry.com/WordPress/?page_id=143 "I’ve always felt that I can get a back line moving far more and I have a running game but it’s only in the last 12 months that I’ve shown that consistently at a top level." Ronank 14:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

the section "Notable Deeds".... shouldn't that be records, or similarly titled? (GowsiPowsi (talk) 15:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC))
