Not sure where to put this but Sexton has stated in his new book that this is what Reiko said to him in the World Cup quarter final last year.
“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….”
I'm sure Sexton gave as good as he received over the years, probably why Reiko gave him a spray in the first place.
More in the article below.

Conrad Smith isnt fit to lace his boots after this.
Rieko is now the GOAT centre.

@Frank said in All Blacks EOYT:
“I couldn’t bring myself to watch the quarter-final back. I don’t think I ever will. I don’t need to. I’ve mentally replayed every second, over and over. It finishes the same way every time. Rónan Kelleher still ploughs into Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock. Whitelock goes in for the poach, clearly without releasing, but somehow Wayne Barnes awards him the penalty, even though it has all happened under his nose — and it’s all over.
Well if you watched it again, cockwomble, you'd realise it was a perfectly legit turnover.
He's also the tool who smashed BB on the head on the ground after he scored a try, and was never done for that thuggery

He is an insufferable prat.

Bitching about the All Blacks will probably help JS flog a few more copies of his book to dickheads who have resented the AB's success over the years.
These things can back fire though.
I'd love to see Reiko Ioane score a try or two in Dublin in a few weeks time.

Watch it again. Whitelocks steal is at 5:40.
Sexton is getting up from the bottom of a ruck in bottom RH of shot.
Hes not even looking at Whitelocks release or supposed lackthereof.So he is a liar on top of being a whinging prick.
Would like to see a different angle on that

Sexton is a one armed waitress. He can dish it out but he cant take it back.

I've looked previously. End on shows clear release. He had to have released to be able to get his hands on the ball.

Says a lot... several other threads for players retiring... where we've been complaining about them recently in match-threads and selections and what-not, but make sure it's all respectful "thanks for the memories" in the "send-off" threads.
Not this fluffy-bunny.
By the sounds of it, his book is just a final injection of his typical bullshit which doesn't belong in rugby, out into the public.
A final unwanted jizz of fuckery.
Fuck off, rugby-cancer. And I genuinely hope that once Irish Rugby start to forget about you, it will get healthier. I wouldn't mind (as much) an Irish rugby team at #1 in world rankings, if it wasn't tainted with that SexPest attitude.Edit (apologies to those early 'upvoters' who might not agree with this part) - forgot to mention: Blight on the fucking game. Fuck off, and good riddance.

If that was directed at any other player we'd say it was an act unworthy of an AllBlack. But I think an exception can be made in this case. Reiko will live rent free in his head forever.
Just hope Reiko is prepared to be treated like the second coming of Hitler by the Irish press during the EOYT.

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 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.

@MajorRage said in Sexton's send off:
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.
