O'Gara joined the Crusaders ahead of the 2018 season on a one-year contract after leaving his role as an assistant at French club Racing 92.

"I'm delighted to be extending my contract for another season," the former British and Irish Lions player said in a statement.

"I have always been an admirer of rugby in New Zealand and to get the opportunity to work with a club like the Crusaders is a fantastic experience."
