Johnny Sexton has declared his determination to go out on a high and crack Ireland’s glass ceiling at World Cups after signing a new contract with the IRFU that will end once the next tournament finishes in France late next year.

The Ireland captain has played at three World Cups and come away from each and every one of them disappointed. There have been nine tournaments in all and no Irish team has yet to make it past the quarter-final stage.
