Sexton has no time to lose in lreland’s brutal pool challenge

JOHNNY SEXTON has ground to make up, hence why there will be no wrapping the Ireland talisman in cotton wool tomorrow.

Fly-half Sexton will make his first appearance in six months after injury and suspension when Ireland open their World Cup account against Romania in Bordeaux.

The Lions star would have been held back from a match like this in times past, with Ireland looking to protect their most important asset. But head coach Andy Farrell has broadened Ireland's horizons, and Sexton needs the match action.
