Jonathan Sexton's conduct
-
Sexton was an injured spectator for todays European Cup Final.
He still managed to get involved in handbags at half time with the opposition coach/players in the tunnel and went after the ref (Jaco Peyper) again post match.
His on field conduct has left a lot to be desired for quite a while, feigning injury, arm waving to draw penalties/cards and constantly back chatting to refs.
A very good player , who I think will not be remembered fondly bar on his own shores. He is the national teams captain for god sake.
He needs to wind his neck in.

O Gara was sporting a mark under his eye during post match interview.......not sure if he was involved in a schmozzle. Himself and Sexton have previous......
If Sexton was guilty of misconduct, the only reasonable thing to do is to ban him from rugby for the rest of the year 😄

Sexton taking inspiration from this incident perhaps ?

Some of those Irish guys come across as utter twats. Sexton chief among them.
I think it’s since they got over the AB aura and actually won. They seemed ok before then.
Actually no, BOD was always a cock, thank god he never beat the All Blacks.

I absolutely loathe their contrived on-field culture and antics. Fucking awful to watch and the antithesis of what the game should be about.

if anything was to come of it, surely it would have by now.
Surely with WR HQ in Dublin, thier influence over WR has surpassed what even we once had

You’d have to think that Peyper would have put something in his match report but maybe downplayed as emotions at the end of a big game. Sexton will likely get away with a sternly worded email. Not even sure what they could do to a non player.
However, if it was a lack of evidence that held things back….. -
@Crucial I can't find the article anymore, but I read last night that there is footage of him spewing "Your a f*cking disgrace" at Peyper, including the finger pointing. Apparently the powers that be are now considering that footage. The article also mentioned that Peyper had only heard part of what Sexton said, but they were now checking with his ARs to find out if they had heard it.

Captain of the No 1 side in the world, and you behave like that.
It also goes to show how critical Ref's interpretations are perceived to be by players that generates a reaction like that. And the reports seem to be that if anything Leinster got the rub of the green on the night ... so a properly unbalanced rant!
