The best way to repair a hole IMHO is to taper it on the outside and patch from the outside. A layer of roving can be bonded to the inside as a starting point. It's more difficult to do but the resulting patch will be much more resistant to being "pushed in". The angle of the taper you grind should be generous (several inches on all sides) to maximize the bond surface area and minimize delamination.
