Yeah there was a tremendous cross field kick for one of the early tries wasnāt there? A very good GAA player in his youth for Roscommon too apparently. To be fair heās a much better alternative than Billy Burns anyway.

Yep he put it right into ringrose breadbasket. He had another chip and got a hand on it back to aki for 2nd.
I wouldnāt say sexton has the greatest goal kicking record for Ireland in recent years.
I hope the weather is shite and Ireland get stuffed.

Oh you can use statistics to prove anything. Whatās his percentage in this yearās six nations so far?
You can use small sample sizes to prove anything as well
Agreed.
The two best Irish outhalves are AJ McGinty and paddy Jackson.
And the best NZ centre is bundee aki

Carty is the best of a below test level outhalf standard group really. He should be starting ahead of that sicknote Carberry but he can be make costly lapses in judgement.
Itās time someone had a word with Sexton. Retire with your health ffs.
Heās too fierce of a competitor. An insatiable hunger to be the best.
Reminds me of Apollo Creed in Rocky IV.

Itās admirable but heās 38 now and the hits are still coming hard and fast.
At this stage he reminds me more of Rocky at the start of Rocky V.
Heās not mate. Heās 36.
