Jonny’s Friendship Day

EVEN when they’re apart it can be hard to separate them.

Ireland’s Jonathan Sexton wasn’t long fielding questions in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night after the win over England before his relationship with Ronan O’Gara was mentioned.

“We have a good laugh about it. We’re aware if one plays well the other one gets criticised, and that’s not how it should work. I’ve learned a lot in that respect in the last few weeks, you mature from that and he deserves all the support he gets. There’s a lot of support for Ronan out there and he deserves it for what he’s done for Munster and Irish rugby. I’ll have to put in a few more performances to get that support.”
