I’m not prepared to read Sexton’s book because I don’t really take to the guy and also it is likely to be a complete whinge-fest. However, unlikely to surpass the amount of whinging on this thread..

Not sure you understand us Kiwis.
This is our version of dancing on another's grave.

I dunno. Not the biggest sample size admittedly but over 20 years on here with you blokes has been an education. 😀

It’s taken a while to get you down to our level, but I think we’re close now

Perhaps more informed would be more accurate

@Catogrande I take it back, you've learnt nothing, make your statement and stand by it, right or wrong, that is the way.

I wouldn’t pay to read it but I’d definitely have a flick through if it was at a bookstore or on someone coffee table.

Not even the bargain bucket at the bookstore in month?

Any more than 99 cents and I’d be saying no

You know that you can read what dickheads have to say for free on the internet right?

Well, you must do you're here, so save your 99c.

Interesting points. But let’s be clear:

He was no Carter snd Carter had zero track record of being an absolute fluffybunny. Carter also had no need to put any crap like this in his book in order to sell it ..

Laughable how they say it’s riled up the kiwis just before the bloke goes on about why he’s riled up about it …

@MajorRage do they mention the moment after the whistle, which they make a point is important where it is clear Sexton says something to Ioane which would appear to have prompted Ioanes barb?

MajorRage

@taniwharugby only in passing.

To be fair, I do get where they are coming from and the point is valid.

Sexton doesn’t seem to have many sticking up for him in most comments I’ve read. Which I think says a lot.

taniwharugby

@MajorRage oh absolutely, which makes you think there was more water under the bridge to have that much ill-feeling to give a serve like that.

Its been said now, Sexton will have to live with it, maybe Ioane regrets it, maybe not.

Dan54

From what I read, I not keen on what Ioane said (if it is true etc), but neither am I keen on Sexton writing about it in book.
Bit of dickheads x 2 too me.

As shown here, Just-a-shit-O'Gara is spouting off at Rieko (7 minute mark) about a minute after the call (5:45 minute mark)

Seems strange for Rieko to be saying back ten after the whistle has been blown.

To put it into context you would expect even someone like the Wests Tigers could have found a way to score a try if they had 37 consecutive tackles.

Ah Jonny - Do you have to let it linger!

Dagg talks sense for once

Israel Dagg's brutal response after Johnny Sexton exposes 'fake-humble' All Blacks and their 'no d***heads policy'

Ex-All Blacks fullback Israel Dagg has hit back at Johnny Sexton after extracts of his autobiography 'Obsessed' were published this week.

Tim

Worst players, worst fans. Irish rugby is a self righteous collection of chippy idiots. Awful people.

No Quarter

This only makes that quarter final win even more sweeter, it will haunt Sexton for the rest of his life. The send-off from Rieko is just something for him to latch on to, but it is the embarrassment of Ireland's best ever team being bundled out in the quarters yet again that is killing his soul.
