Felipe Contepomi had some brilliant tales about his on-pitch run ins with Ronan O'Gara

During his illustrious Leinster career, Felipe Contepomi came up against Munster counterpart Ronan O'Gara on many an occasion.

And tonight on Off The Ball's 3 Arena Roadshow, where he joined his former provincial colleague Brian O'Driscoll on stage, the ex-Argentina great had a few stories about their battles on the pitch.

"Ronan is not the best guy to be inside the pitch. He mouths a bit but ..." said Contepomi, before BOD joked that "he mouths a lot".

Contepomi continued: "But I think outside the pitch he's actually a really nice guy. I've no problems with him. I actually have a huge respect for Ronan as a player. He did a lot for Irish rugby and Munster. But inside the pitch, he's a tough guy."

The ex-Leinster man did recall one incident on the pitch with ROG.

"I remember once, we were [playing] Munster v Leinster and we were winning and we got a penalty and I argue with the referee and he came to me out of the blue and he said 'I show you my medals' or something like that. He says something but it stays on the pitch," he said.
