IT IS SEX & THE GRITTY

THE other side of Johnny Sexton, the one people don't often get to see, will come to the fore at the Stade de France on Saturday.

Much has been made of the experience in Ireland's camp, from the star coaches who were players such as head coach Andy Farrell and Paul O'Connell, through to squad members who have played in multiple World Cups such as Peter O'Mahony, Keith Earls and Tadhg Furlong.

But so much of this week will be driven by Sexton, who continues to rage against the dying of the light as he has only a few weeks remaining in his career now.

People often see the rage element in him but Simon Easterby says that is not the side that Sexton's teammates will see come Saturday.
