“My son will certainly be happier than me”
« At the time, I was just happy to score a try. In fact, I thought I had broken the record on the penalty from before. My son will definitely be happier than me. I’m proud but it’s just a new record that will be broken one day. You know, personal achievements don’t matter to us. All that matters is winning the next match, over and over again “, said Jonathan Sexton at a press conference. The new best scorer in the history of Ireland is satisfied with the performance of his teammates.

Once the team managed to have more control over these phases of play, we started to put our game in place and, yes, we scored some good tries. The team also performed well in touch and scrum, it’s great », savored Jonathan Sexton.
