Johnny Sexton reveals how long it took Andy Farrell to convince him to join Lions coaching staff

JUST when Johnny Sexton thought he was out, Andy Farrell pulled him back in. As far as Farrell was concerned, Sexton's contribution to Irish rugby could not end simply because he had hung up his boots. 2 Sexton has fully thrown himself into coaching Credit: PA 2 Farrell's charges will face Argentina on Friday at the Aviva Stadium Credit: Getty And, as much as the former out-half might have tried to convince himself he would be happy working in business, he did not require much persuasion to Sexton, 39, said: 'As a player I would have always doubted myself throughout the years, whether it was coming into the Irish set-up for the first time or when you become a Lion for the first time, or Leinster. 'It's no different now. You're going in, you want to prove yourself, want to show that you can bring value. 'It was something I considered when Andy picked up the phone, you're kind of going, 'Wow'. It's such an honour, how can you say no? Read More On Irish Sport 'Like, I didn't pick myself. He asked me to come, I considered it for about 30 seconds and ultimately how could you not? I'd have regretted it for the rest of my life.' A part-time role first for the November Internationals and the Six Nations whetted Sexton's appetite. And although he believes he gained a lot from his year working as the Ardagh Group's chief of staff, he feels better equipped to contribute to the Lions and Ireland teams. He said: 'When you're starting a new job in a new line of work, you're learning. I was learning a lot. Most read in Rugby Union 'But it's hard to contribute because you're sitting in a room with people that have 20 years, 30 years of experience in the industry. Whereas, that's me now. I've had 20 years' experience. "Yes, I haven't coached but the role that I'm in allows me to, I suppose, give some experience without having too much responsibility in terms of the team. 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter 'I'm hoping that with the Ireland set-up, there will be a bit more of that responsibility and we'll see how that progresses over the next while. 'I knew deep down that I was going to miss it. It wasn't until I was back in it that I missed it. "Sometimes you try and kid yourself when you're out of it and you're watching and you're going, you feel a bit detached from it.' Joining the Lions team has required some bridge-building having suggested in his autobiography that Finn Russell being 'the darling of the media' swayed Warren Gatland to pick the Scot ahead of him for the 2021 Lions Tour. Arguably more damaging, in October, he said boss Farrell should pick his own son Owen ahead of Russell. SORTED OUT The pair had a quick catch-up after the squad was announced and Russell claimed they laughed about it and he held no grudge. And Sexton said: 'What the Lions demands of you is that if there is a rivalry — which there's not but if there was — you leave it at the door. 'I'm here to help him now. I'm here to give him experiences. I'm here to answer questions. I'm not here to force myself on him or tell him what to do. It's not that relationship. I'm here to help. 'The thing about me is I'm an inexperienced coach but I've probably seen it all, rugby-wise — I've been bad, I've been dropped, I've been not picked, I've been injured. "If they've a bad game, if they've a tough game, being able to help them out, pick them up is something that I'm quite passionate about.' The Lions run out at Sexton's old Aviva Stadium stomping ground when tour prep ramps up with Friday's game against Argentina. Beyond that, Sexton hopes to catch up with former mentor, Australia coach Joe Schmidt, outside the Tests to 'maybe wind him up a bit!' He hopes his insight into Schmidt's methods can be of benefit but he admitted a recent meeting with former Ireland striker and current Ferencvaros boss Sexton said: 'He's a good character, Robbie. We were talking about his different experiences, in Israel and Hungary? He's thriving, isn't he? He's loving it. 'I was picking his brain on certain things he's doing there but most of the time I spent laughing at him. He's just a great character, great story-teller.'

Shelbourne end St Pats' unbeaten home record thanks to Ali Coote goal

League of Ireland Premier Division: St Patrick's Athletic 0 Shelbourne 1 (Coote 10) Ali Coote's early goal ended St Patrick's Athletic year-long unbeaten home record in the league to reignite Shelbourne 's tenuous title retention hopes as they beat the Inchicore side for the second time this season. The result, only the champions' third win in 12 games, moves Damien Duff's side level on points with fourth-placed St Patrick's, though still 12 points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers who came from behind to beat Drogheda United 2-1. St Pats' worrying form thus continues as they've now failed to win any of their last three games at Richmond Park and have one victory in five. READ MORE With five changes from Friday's home defeat to Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne enjoyed plenty of early possession and were deservedly ahead from a sweeping attack on 10 minutes. Skipper Mark Coyle, Harry Wood and Evan Caffrey were involved before Tyreke Wilson put the latter's cross back into the home area. With St Patrick's at sixes and sevens, Coote's shot took a deflection off Tom Grivosti to wrong-foot goalkeeper Joseph Anang and find the net for his third goal of the season. Shelbourne maintained their positive start as St Patrick's laboured to get a foothold in the game. It was the 23rd minute before Saints threatened for the first time to give their restless fans some cheer. A surge forward from right-back by Ryan McLaughlin set it up with Aidan Keena helping Simon Power's cross on to Jay McClelland. Sam Bone showed good defensive instinct to get his body in the way to deflect the shot out for the game's first corner. With St Patrick's finally in the game, Conor Kearns was worked for the first time when having to react acrobatically to turn an inswinging ball from Jake Mulraney round a post before Kian Leavy forced a third corner in quick succession with a deflected shot from distance. But there was a let-off for St Patrick's on 34 minutes when Shelbourne striker Sean Boyd, starting for the first time in two months, sliced tamely wide dead in front of goal after incisive approach play by Evan Caffrey who had worked a one-two with Wood on the right. Clearly unhappy with his team's first half showing, Stephen Kenny made three changes from the resumption with Axel Sjoberg, Barry Baggley and Mason Melia replacing McLaughlin, Anto Breslin and Mulraney. It duly injected more energy and purpose to the home side as they chased the game. Shelbourne had three corners to defend in the opening minutes of the half while Kearns was then forced into a diving save from a Keena drive. The visitors' rearguard remained steadfast, however, as St Patrick's upped the tempo. Substitute Zach Elbouzedi had a close range effort bravely blocked while Jamie Lennon shaved the crossbar from 20 yards. In the key moment of the second half five minutes from time, Kearns made the save of the game to deny Baggley following Elbouzedi's surging run from deep as St Patrick's 17-game unbeaten home run in the league came to an end. Aaron Greene scored a 74th-minute winner as Shamrock Rovers beat Drogheda at United Park to make it seven wins in eight games to stretch their lead at the top of the table to nine points. It closed a bad day for Drogheda who, earlier in the afternoon, had it confirmed that they had lost their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on being denied participation in this season's Conference League qualifiers due to being in breach of UEFA's multi-club ownership rules, also losing out on a minimum of €525,000 in prize money. Drogheda started well with George Cooper putting them ahead after just four minutes before Rovers levelled three minutes before half-time from Graham Burke's seventh goal of the season. St Patrick's Athletic: Anang; McLaughlin (Sjoberg, h-t), Redmond, Grivosti, Breslin (Baggley, h-t); Lennon, McClelland; Power, Leavy (Elbouzedi, 71), Mulraney (Melia, h-t); Keena (Carty, 85). Shelbourne: Kearns; Bone, Barrett, Ledwidge; Caffrey (Gannon, 74), Lunney (Kelly, 70), Coyle, Wood, Wilson (Norris, 74); Coote (Chapman, 60); Boyd (Martin, 70). Referee: Paul Norton (Dublin). Attendance: 4,421.
