Johnny Sexton signs new IRFU contract

Jonathan Sexton: "I always said that if I am enjoying my rugby and the Ireland and Leinster set-ups believe I can add value to the environment then it would be an easy decision to sign another contract." 

Johnny Sexton has inked a contract extension up until the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Ireland and Leinster out-half Sexton said he was 'excited about the prospect of competing at a fourth World Cup with Ireland and the potential for growth in this group between now and then'.
