Connacht’s longest serving player Tiernan O’Halloran says that Johnny Sexton’s younger brother Mark has been a revelation since stepping up from the academy to coach the senior side this season.

Mark Sexton, two years younger than the retired Irish skipper, is Connacht’s assistant attack and skills coach this season under Pete Wilkins. It’s the latest role for Sexton, whose playing career was impacted by a broken leg when he was 16 but who now has almost a decade of coaching under his belt, including the Irish U-20s this year.
