Having played a crucial role in helping Ireland reign supreme in the 2023 Six Nations Championship, Irish veteran flyhalf Johnny Sexton will be key in the side’s pursuit of Rugby World Cup glory in his last outing.
The Irish head to this year’s tournament, which starts in France on September 8, as one of the hot favourites to clinch the Webb Ellis trophy.
At 37, Ireland's most capped player, with at least 113 appearances, has aged like a fine wine, showing no signs of slowing down. In their World Cup history which dates back to 1987, the Irish have not been able to go past the quarterfinal stage of the tournament. The veteran pivot has been at the centre of Ireland’s evolution with a well-balanced game style that boasts excellent defensive play and impressive attack prowess.
