Johnny Sexton - 'a leader of men' - breaks Irish points record in spectacular fashion

The Ireland 10 has broken Ronan O'Gara's long-standing Irish points record of 1,083. 

Ireland's Johnny Sexton scores the fourth try of the game and a record-breaker for him personally. 

Johnny Sexton is Ireland's all-time highest points scorer with 1,090 points to his name. He broke Ronan O'Gara's record in spectacular fashion in Nantes on Saturday night, sliding over for a first-half try in his side's 59-16 victory over Tonga.

Sexton opened the scoring with a penalty and soon after converted Tadhg Beirne’s try before adding two more from the tee after Caelan Doris put the ball over the line.
