Seems like a very weird decision to play Sexton in the 3rd game of a 6 Nations they have no chance of winning, against Italy at 35
I don’t know if it’s been referenced here but Sexton has cast a shadow of doubt about his participation in the next RWC - 2023.
He’s no doubt a grand lad and all but I’d be dubious of his involvement after this coming Saturday never mind 26 months away.
He’s had a bang too many to the head, he’s 36 ffs. Deluded.
Holding a lad up in the tackle and trying to make it a maul appears to be this year’s tactical innovation
You mean the choke tackle copyright les kiss?
Yes it had fallen out of favour for a number of years. But everyone is at it this year.
That’s been around since 2007 or so.
Ireland robbed there
Eh refs don’t appear to know the rules here. Truly bizarre.
