Johnny Sexton says sorry for reaction to Paris substitution  

Andy Farrell has rejected the suggestion that either his management or the Ireland squad were undermined by Johnny Sexton’s reaction to being substituted during the latter stages of Saturday’s Six Nations defeat to France.

Farrell withdrew his captain as Ireland chased the game by eight points heading into the final 10 minutes, with Sexton’s visible disappointment picked up by television cameras and on the stadium's big screen.
