From 2000 O’Gara competed with
incumbent David Humphreys—who was
suffering from inconsistent form—for the
number 10 jersey until the 2003-04 season
when he became fly half of choice.
The arrival of Johnny Sexton during
the 2009 Autumn series sparked a new
rivalry. The Munster man continued to
be a force off the bench with a near
equal scoring rate and far superior
record from the tee.
