Ronan O'Gara has been among those to wish Jack O'Donoghue well ahead of his Irish rugby debut tomorrow.

The 22-year-old will line out at number eight against Canada at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow evening. He will become the first Waterford player to be capped for the Irish senior rugby team since Ben Cronin in 1997.

O'Donoghue is also a talented hurler and played at full back for Ballygunner and De La Salle College as well as for Waterford underage teams before concentrating on the oval ball game.
