Donal Lenihan: If Johnny Sexton ‘was my son I would be extremely worried’

"Now we're told that he didn't fail it, but that the Leinster medical people weren't 100% satisfied send him back onto the pitch. That, to me, says there was an issue."

Retired Ireland player and pundit Donal Lenihan has added his voice to those concerned about the long-term health of fly-half Johnny Sexton.

The Irish talisman left the field with a head injury last weekend while playing for Leinster, although coach Leo Cullen has since insisted that the player did not suffer concussion and only remained off the field as a precaution.
