Former Ireland captain Johnny Sexton says he 'might have been tempted' to extend his career had there been a contract offer from Leinster after the World Cup.
Former Ireland captain Johnny Sexton has admitted he "might have been tempted" to extend his career had there been a contract offer from Leinster after the World Cup.
Sexton was 38 at the time of his retirement but still skipper and the key creative player for a side who headed to the tournament atop the world rankings. "I didn't really, I suppose, have the option. I had a couple of offers to go abroad and play but that didn't appeal to me, really."Numerous Sexton peers were forced out of the game through injury, and previous occupants of the Irish number 10 jersey had their international exits hastened by a changing of the guard in the position. Neither scenario applied to two-time British and Irish Lions tourist Sexton.
