In at the deep end but Sexton out to bring value to Farrell's Lions camp
It took all of 30 seconds for Johnny Sexton to jump into the deep waters of elite coaching with Ireland and the British & Irish Lions but the fly-half legend thinks he would have regretted it for the rest of his life if he had not dived in. Twenty months after turning his back on rugby when he hung up his boots at the end of the 2023 World Cup and began life in the business world, Sexton was speaking at University College Dublin on Monday as an assistant to Lions head coach Andy Farrell. The Lions, now complete with the arrival of a victorious 12-strong Leinster contingent following Saturday's URC title victory, and three English Premiership finalists from champions Bath and runners-up Leicester Tigers, are almost up to their full complement ahead of Friday night's non-Test international and pre-tour warm-up against Argentina at Aviva Stadium. Just returned from a six-day Lions training camp in Portugal, primarily working with available fly-halves Fin Smith and Marcus Smith, he admitted there had been some trepidation about entering the coaching world at such an exalted level. The Test centurion and former Ireland captain, a two-time Lions tourist as a player in 2013 and 2017, had returned to the Irish camp at Farrell's invitation on a part-time basis last November and was back in a similar capacity for this season's Six Nations campaign. The IRFU announced Sexton would become a full-time coach with the national team next season but Farrell appointed him old to his Lions staff for this summer's tour to Australia and he confessed he had been a little daunted by his new status. 'Yeah, of course there would be that type of… 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 Lions for the first time, or Leinster. 'You always have those doubts. It's no different now. You're going in, you want to prove yourself, you want to show that you can bring value. 'Yeah, 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? Like, I didn't pick myself. He asked me to come, I considered it for about 30 seconds and ultimately how could you? I'd have regretted it for the rest of my life.' Sexton added that he would be kidding himself if he had resisted the pull of the sport he graced for more than 20 years as a professional. "I think when Andy asked me to come back in, in November, 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. 'So, it was comfortable. When you're starting a new job, in a new line of work, you're learning. I was learning a lot, but it's hard to contribute because you're sitting in a room with people that have 20 years, 30 years' experience in the industry. Whereas, that's my 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, being able to influence it in certain ways so it's been a good balance with how I've started off. Read More Leinster contingent reports for duty with British and Irish Lions '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.' Sexton said he was looking forward to a front row seat for the upcoming duel between Farrell and his Irish predecessor Joe Schmidt, the current Australia boss whom the fly-half had played under for a decade at Leinster and Ireland. He had been viewed as Schmidt's on-pitch coach and addressing the upcoming series Sexton said: "Maybe that's why Andy asked me. "Maybe that was part of it, I am not sure you would have to ask him. "I'm sure Joe has evolved as well. He has left the country since 2019, he has been in different jobs Blues, New Zealand, now Australia, and I am sure he has evolved and has changed. "But I doubt if he has changed some of the big factors that he always coaches, the importance of the ruck, both sides of the ball, how he looks at the game, how he breaks us down, those type of things. "Like you say, very knowledgeable but Andy knows him well, Simon Easterby knows him well and he knows them so it is going to be... I suppose the best thing for a neutral watching in, it is going to be pretty fascinating in how they take each other on.' Ioane jibe still stings Sexton Leinster's decision to sign All Blacks centre Rieko Ioane from December to June next year has not gone down well with Johnny Sexton. The two have been engaged in a spat since they exchanged words after New Zealand's 2023 World Cup quarter-final victory over Ireland. The Irish fly-half legend claimed in his autobiography last year that Ioane had told him: 'Don't miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement,' with the addition of an expletive. Sexton was not on the field when next the two nations met in Dublin last November yet Ioane celebrated their victory by posting a picture of him leading the Haka, accompanied by the words: 'Put that in the book.' Sexton's Lions press conference closed with the question, did he ever think he would see Reiko Ioane at Leinster? "Wow, save the best for last,' the assistant coach replied. 'I purchased my Munster season ticket last week, put it that way...'

Sexton: 'I purchased my Munster season ticket, put it that way'
LEINSTER SIGNING RIEKO Ioane came like a bolt out of the blue. Surely no one was as surprised as Johnny Sexton. The legendary former Leinster out-half was involved in a spat with the All Blacks centre just after the final game of his career. New Zealand had beaten Ireland in the 2023 World Cup quarter-final when Ioane sledged Sexton. 'Don't miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement, you c**t,' Ioane told Sexton, according to the former Ireland out-half. Sexton responded by calling Ioane 'a fake-humble f***er,' as he revealed in his autobiography. Ioane reacted to Sexton publishing those details by taking to social media after New Zealand beat Ireland again last November, writing, 'Put that in your book.' The Leinster-bound centre does not shy away from controversy, using the joker card emoji on his sometimes incendiary social media posts. Blues centre Ioane was seen exchanging words with Chiefs players after his side's recent Super Rugby win against them, while he posted, 'Should've killed me when you had a chance' following that game. Advertisement Ioane's history with Leinster legend Sexton meant news of the Irish province signing him on a short-term deal next season caused shock in April.

This was his first time speaking to the media since news of Ioane signing for Leinster broke. His reaction was succinct. 'I purchased my Munster season ticket last week, put it that way,' said Sexton with a smile. He opted against going into any detail of his view on the signing, but it seems obvious that he isn't a huge fan of it. Sexton was more eager to discuss the Lions, having launched into his role as their kicking coach at last week's training camp in Portugal. Andy Farrell's squad are now in Dublin preparing for Friday evening's opening warm-up game against Argentina. Sexton is one of a large contingent of Irish coaches, players, and backroom staff involved with the Lions under Farrell. Finlay Bealham's call-up as an injury replacement for Zander Fagerson means Ireland now have 16 players in the 38-man squad, but Sexton believes that's simply a reflection of their quality in recent seasons. 'Ireland have done pretty well over the last few years I think, having won the Championship last year, the Grand Slam the year before, so you're probably looking at form over the last three years,' said Sexton. 'With some players, I think the coaches probably look at form over seven, eight, nine years. It's not just if you played well in a couple of games in the Six Nations. You can force your way in but sometimes you take a bigger picture look with players and obviously they know the way Andy coaches, they know the system. Andy Farrell at Lions training in Dublin today. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO 'So it didn't surprise me because, historically, let's say when there was a Welsh coach and the Welsh team had done well, they were in the majority, the Welsh team. 'I think the teams that perform the best in terms of their Six Nations performances, I think they got selected. 'I have never seen as thorough a process in terms of all the combinations, the amount of players that were considered, the amount of players that were talked about. 'Andy did all of those players justice in terms of putting enough research, work, asked relevant people, and he's picked the squad that he thinks gives him the best chance to win the tour.'
