Johnny Sexton has became embroiled in a dispute with French neurologist Dr Jean-Francois Chermann regarding his concussion record

This morning/afternoon.

Further to a withdrawn claim by a French  neurologist that he believed Ireland rugby captain Johnny Sexton had sustained around 30 concussions during his career….

“I’m a dad of three and a husband and I’m not going to go and be stupid and I’m not going to risk anything.

“I’ve had the talk with the doctors and the coaches and they’re (saying), ‘just do the right thing’. If you’re right, you’re right; if you’re not right, you’re not.

“That’s how it’s always been. I’ve never ever felt any pressure to play after a knock on the head.”

Johnny Sexton, this morning.

He then walked into a lamppost.
