'It's a horrible looking thing': Sexton says D'Arcy will shave if Ireland win Grand Slam

Now we’re a little conflicted.

GORDON D’ARCY’S MAGNIFICENT beard will disappear if Ireland win their next three games and secure the Grand Slam, says Jonathan Sexton.

The Leinster and Ireland centre has been cultivating his impressive face furniture since mid-2013,  but it seems not everybody thinks he looks as cool as we in TheScore.ie do.

“It’s a horrible looking thing.” Sexton told TodayFM today.

“I said to Darce before the New Zealand game, ‘if we win, you’re gonna shave your beard’ and he said ‘yeah’.

“So that was probably one of the biggest disappointments about not beating New Zealand, taking that horrible thing off.”

“Now we’ve got a Grand Slam on the line and, I think it was in the post match function I said: ‘for the people of Ireland we want to win the Grand Slam not just to give them something to celebrate, but to get rid of Gordon D’Arcy’s beard.’”

That news leaves us a little conflicted.
