Johnny Sexton: ‘This is not the end, there’s plenty more left in this team’ via IrishTimesSport
“And it’s the same every single game. You have to turn up five weeks in a row. And I think we did. I think we were on it today; we just made some silly errors at some crucial times. It made things difficult. But yeah, we won a Grand Slam. It’s pinch yourself stuff.
“They’re a great group, great management team and a great bunch of players. And I said in the dressingroom there, this is not the end. There’s plenty more left in this team,” said Sexton, who has one final swansong to a remarkable career at the World Cup.
“It doesn’t feel great at the moment,” admitted Sexton. “I suppose I deserve it for trying to get involved in a maul, it’s not where I should be. I thought I would be able to hold it up a little bit but it came down, doesn’t feel too good at the moment.” Grand Slams are not just won on nights like this. They’re won not just over the eight-week period but all the time that we’ve been together. We’ve been building towards this and I’m just glad we got the job done.”Sexton was asked about his celebratory jig, or dance, after landing the conversion to the Rob Herring try which ensured Ireland of a three-score lead, prompting Farrell to quip: “It was embarrassing, wasn’t it, very embarrassing. That was cringey.
