Johnny Sexton says 'being labelled with being concussed when you’re not' is frustrating

Johnny Sexton last night dismissed comments about his health from Eddie Jones yesterday as Ireland’s fly-half was deemed a fair target by the new England coach for tomorrow’s Twickenham showdown.

Sexton’s medical issues have become the subject of intense interest following his premature departure from the field at Stade de France 13 days ago having been the subject of sustained physical attention by France during his 70 minutes on the field.

The Ireland playmaker suffered what Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt described as a “whiplash injury”.
