Argentina hero Felipe Contepomi rates Sexton best out-half in world

Leinster legend, Munster bete noire.

Mentor to Jonathan Sexton and the man whose knee injury opened the door for Ireland’s number back in 2009. Oh, he’s Argentinian, too. Talk about the right man in the right place at the right time. Yep, few men tie this week’s various storylines into one neat bundle better than Felipe Contepomi.

In Cardiff this week on media duties, he turned up at Ireland’s media briefing in the city centre still looking impossibly cool and incredibly fit and he spoke smoothly to a procession of journalists impatient for his bon mots on Paulie, Sexto and much more besides.
