France are reportedly lining up Crusaders assistant coach and Irish rugby great Ronan O'Gara to boost their coaching ranks for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in Japan.
O'Gara's contract with the Crusaders is set to expire at the end of the Super Rugby season, two months before the World Cup kicks off in Japan.
According to French media, O'Gara has already spoken with French rugby chief executive Bernard Laporte and France head coach Jacques Brunel on several occasions about a possible "freelance job".
The Crusaders will face the Hurricanes at 6.35pm this Friday while the Waratahs will take on the Sunwolves at 8.45pm.
On Saturday, the Blues will host the Stormers at 6.35pm, the Reds will play the Rebels at 8.45pm and on Sunday the Sharks take on the Bulls at 1.05am while the Jaguares will face the Chiefs at 9.40am.
