None of us are doctors pal.

I fear for his health in 5-10 yearsā€¦all jokes aside.

I know we are all having a laugh here slagging off rugby as shit etc (which it is) but seriously does anyone care about Johnny Sexton? Heā€™s obviously a brilliant rugby player but like the lad is bollixed. He was clearly out of it after that hit and how many does he have to take to the head before someone says ok Johnny youā€™ve done enough

He was advised at least three years ago heā€™d be better giving it up, i remember reading he suffers from constant headaches but he wonā€™t quit.

Itā€™s tough to watch at this stage. Admirable bravery but foolish really

No one wants see a fella destroyed at 40 years of age.

He needs to give it up now for his own good.

Sexton is a genuinely hard man who loves his country and puts his body on the line to defend us all the time, a real legend. A credit to Ireland

I dont know much about Rugby but I think its evident that there were efforts made to cut down the number of tackles he had to make. He nearly intercepted the ball 3 or 4 times from rushing the passer for want of a better word. He also never carried into contact.

Is it wrong to try to leave an opponent a vegetable if it means you win a game ?

Sexton gets hit a lot because he plays the game flat and draws defenders. The late hits should have drawn more penalties today, but they werenā€™t cynical.

Sexton is a bit of a whinger though. Calls the lads on to measure him for the coffin, and right as rain twenty seconds later.
Heā€™s watched one Christiano dvd too many.

Thereā€™s no doubting his bravery in fairness.

Indeed there isnā€™t.

Bravery, foolishness, its a thin line sometime.

Is he dead yet?

No just a cruciate

No. Through his bravery and guile he led Ireland to victory today.
