Ronan O'Gara has ruled himself out of the running for the Connacht head coach job. 

O'Gara has used his Irish Examiner column to distance himself from the speculation, saying he's too young and too invested in his role with Racing to consider a move home.

Bernard Jackman has also been linked to the job and says he would be interested if approached.

The former Leinster , Connacht and Ireland hooker is currently coaching Grenoble in France.
