Ireland's 2017 Six Nations has started horribly: defeat at Murrayfield gives Scotland their first opening-day victory since 2006 and Ireland the tournament's first losing bonus point.
It's an utterly demoralizing result, with few Irish players emerging with much credit in our player ratings.
So, in our time of distress, we turn, once again to Ronan O'Gara. ROG has bailed us out on the field plenty of times over the years, but now we can only rely on him for some light relief.
At half-time, with Ireland sitting in the furrow of seemingly-assured defeat (we would later come frustratingly close to winning it), RTE host Daire O'Brien turned to Shane Horgan and Ronan O'Gara to relieve the tension.
O'Gara responded.
