The heat between New Zealand and Ireland has been turned up a notch with the claim that the All Blacks “don’t much care” for Johnny Sexton’s conduct.
While New Zealand went unbeaten for 111 years in this fixture, a real rivalry has been fostered as Ireland have won three of the last four matches against the All Blacks. “This Ireland team have perhaps become the new England, as their prolonged stretch as No 1 in the world rankings may be fostering a culture of entitlement,” Paul wrote.
“O’Mahony’s comment lacked class and respect, while Johnny Sexton has seemingly come to see his status as the global game’s elder statesman and captain of the world’s best team as a licence to berate officials and belittle opponents.
