2018 World Player of the Year and Ireland vice-captain Johnny Sexton has signed an IRFU contract extension which will see him play his rugby in Ireland up to the end of the 2020/21 season.
Sexton made his Ireland debut against Fiji in November 2009 and has subsequently amassed 78 caps for his country scoring 738 points.
A pivotal figure in Ireland's recent 6 Nations successes (2014 & 2015 Championships & 2018 Grand Slam), Johnny was central to the victories over New Zealand in Chicago and Dublin and in claiming last summer's Test series against Australia.
A two time British and Irish Lions tourist, Johnny featured in all six of the Lion's most recent Test matches helping to achieve a series victory in Australia and a drawn series in New Zealand.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
