Johnny Sexton says he would rather Ireland put in a good performance to beat Australia on Saturday than pick up the World Rugby Player of the Year award in Monaco the following day.

The Ireland captain has been passed fit to face the Wallabies in his team’s final game of the Autumn Nations Series at Aviva Stadium on Saturday night having recovered from the dead leg he sustained in the victory over South Africa on November 6.
