"He's the key to us having a chance at winning the Grand Slam because he's played pretty much every minute. When is the last time Johnny has gone four games in a row without getting a knock?"Of course, we know that Sexton has not been operating at 100%. The fly-half has had to be careful with managing some back spasms which have forced him to skip a few training sessions.
"To be honest, he hasn't been kicking too well," James Downey offered in response. "But while his kicking hasn't been all there, the rest of his game has been brilliant."https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/972967661427744768 Sexton is right though. The biggest challenge lies ahead. Overcoming a bruised and therefore most-likely-fired-up England looking to bounce back after a whimpering defeat to Scotland will be no mean feat. In fact, it's going to be mightily difficult. However, with the confidence and morale that's currently coursing through this Irish crop's veins, there is every reason to believe that they will get the job done at Twickenham. With Sexton there, pulling the string as ever, we'll always have a fighting chance. One more herculean shift from the Leinster man and it will be extremely difficult to give the Player of the Tournament gong to anyone else. He's the clear frontrunner and it's difficult to see anyone surpassing him with one massive game left.
