    @Canes4life said in Sexton's send off:

    “And as I stand there, hands on hips, staring in disbelief at Barnes, Rieko Ioane still comes up to me and tells me, “Get back ten metres.”

    “Huh?

    “Penalty,” he says. “Back ten.” And then, after Barnes blows the final whistle, he says, “Don’t miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement, you c….”

    Reading that made me feel warm all over.

    Don't think I can match the eloquence of other posters on Sexton, but he's an utter fucking cockwomble, a stain on the game's Y-fronts and a whinging, disrespectful prick whose only saving grace is being an exemplar of how not to handle yourself on a rugby pitch.

    He can fuck right off.

    Hear hear.. hear hear.... I'm smashing drinks in toasting every syllable of that.

    I always thought the shit O'Driscoll copped on here was way over the top and pretty embarrassing.
    I don't feel like that in the slightest about Sexton: the game is indeed better off without him.

    The best thing is htat is with him forever, a continual source of salty tears, that he can never overcome or give comeback beyond the whiney bitching he is doing now

    I don't usually get involved in pile-on's but I'm prepared to make an exception for Johnny.

    I've always hated him. He never looks happy and and always looks within an inch of spontaneously combusting. Deep down, I suspected it was more of a Gregan type relationship, where the hate was based on respect that he was just so damn good ....

    However, it looks like I was right. He is also right though, about the so much for the no dickheads policy there. There are two ways of dealing with dickheads. You ignore them, or you stoop to their level.

    So I'm going to cut Rieko some slack.

    no dickheads policy

    It was always about internal standards, not being nice to the opposition. For example Coles & Retallick

    I’m sure it’s not the first time someone’s called Sexton by his preferred pronoun.

    I have absolutely no problem with one of our boys having the final word on that c*nt's career. Especially after sucking it up and keeping quiet over so many years.

    And that's the beauty of it - Jonny has no answer to it.

    And having now had a cry about it after dishing out verbals for so many years he just looks like a soft prick.

    That’s exactly what I’m saying!

    It’s for situations like this that the expression was coined « what goes around comes around ».

    I think it's "he's a shit Ronan O'Gara"

    Long gone are the days "what happens on the field"

    It probably shows how out of touch with reality Sexton is if he thinks being given a serve was out of order.

    Just to echo the many comments. Reiko is now my locked in choice for centre for the foreseeable future.

    Sexton's photo should be forever next to the stones in glass houses proverb.

    Well I'm glad to see that Johnny is being the bigger man and not stooping to Reiko's level and instead of keeping his gripes man to man and leaving them on the field has published them in a book so he can whinge and moan to the absolute maximum amount of people he possibly can.

    Such class...
