'Concern about the concussions' led to Johnny Sexton missing out of Lions tour

Johnny Sexton: Not going on a third Lions tour

British & Irish Lions kicking coach Neil Jenkins has said that fears over the number of head injuries sustained played a big role in Johnny Sexton missing out on a spot in the squad to tour South Africa.

Sexton was overlooked for selection in the 37-player touring party, with England’s Owen Farrell, Wales’ Dan Biggar and Finn Russell of Scotland all getting the nod from Warren Gatland.
