It was almost a throwback to the two great fly-halves' rivalry for the Ireland number 10 jersey a decade ago as Johnny Sexton passed Ronan O’Gara’s Irish-record Test points total on Saturday night.

“Rog won’t be happy!” Conor Murray said when asked for a reaction to his half-back partner’s passing of his former Munster team-mate’s milestone, while Sexton was unsure if he was even on speaking terms with the Corkman following a feisty Champions Cup final between the Ireland captain’s Leinster and O’Gara’s La Rochelle.
