Johnny Sexton fed up with ex-pros ‘jumping on bandwagon’

Johnny Sexton accepts that he struggled to perform on his return to Leinster, but the Ireland out-half believes it was unfair of former players to talk about his history of concussion without considering the full facts.

The 30-year-old has bounded back into form for province and country in the past three months, as Leinster now set their sights on reclaiming the Guinness PRO12 trophy they last won in 2014.

However, it has not been an easy season for Sexton who came off the back of a disappointing World Cup with Ireland and then struggled as Leinster produced the worst European Cup campaign in their history.
