Jonny Sexton will be playing for Racing Metro for the next two seasons. I understand he made his decision this morning having rejected the IRFU’s offer which was in the ballpark of €450-500k, in favour of a €750k offer from Racing.

The move offers him a whole new lifestyle with a very ambitious club, without having to sacrifice his international career. I’ll look at the implications for him and Ireland and Leinster in more depth in the Sunday Independent.
