Johnny Sexton: ‘There have been a lot of distractions for me’

Johnny Sexton admits he’s been frustrated by the lack of support from referees and officials during a bruising Six Nations campaign.

The Ireland out-half has been targeted by opposition teams, with many of the hits landed on the Leinster star veering into the illegal — but no cards or citings were handed out to the guilty parties.

Sexton concedes big hits are part of the game, but feels a line has been crossed too often this year.
