“Obviously I am supporting Ireland, that goes without saying, but I look forward to seeing how some of the emerging nations perform in this year’s tournament.”
Love these Murray thanks! Hadn’t realised Sexton had moved to Chiefs!
He was playing in France at first wasn’t he? Fair play to him, don’t know if it’s good progression (don’t know the leagues or quality thereof) but at least he seems to be in demand and making a go of it.
