IF IRELAND ARE to beat England on Sunday, we can be sure that Johnny Sexton’s constant demand and drive for perfection will have played a leading role.

A new video from Three gives us insight into the Racing Métro out-half’s longstanding determination to succeed, as it charts Sexton’s journey from Kerry to St. Mary’s to Ireland’s number 10 jersey.

Ronan O’Gara and Billy Keane, son of Irish playwright John B. Keane and Sexton’s godfather, both make appearances and the former says he thinks there’s still “more left in the tank.”
