A woman who won rugby star Johnny Sexton’s boots in a raffle has said they are too special to allow anyone to wear them.

The Ireland international parted with the boots he wore during his historic 100th cap – last November’s 60-5 win over Japan – to raise funds for Debra Ireland, a charity he has supported for more than a decade.
