‘Homebird’ Sexton to decide on club future

Jonathan Sexton has all but made his mind up as to where he will play his club rugby in 12 months’ time, but the Racing Metro out-half stopped short of revealing whether home will be Dublin or Paris.

Back on home soil for a sponsored adidas gig, the former Leinster playmaker had requested that the accompanying interview not include questions as to his contract, but eventually the elephant in the room demanded attention.

And the ‘will-he, won’t he’ charade continued through the day thanks to a Leinster press conference an hour or so later at Tallaght Stadium where the province will meet Ulster in a pre-season friendly on Saturday week.
