Johnny Sexton s’apprête à publier son autobiographie, ‘Obsessed : The Autobiography of Johnny Sexton’ dont The Sunday Times a dévoilé les bonnes feuilles le week-end dernier.

On a déjà évoqué, sur RugbyPass, les relations tendues entre Sexton et un autre ouvreur irlandais de légende, Ronan O’Gara.

Retraité depuis l’élimination de l’Irlande à la Coupe du Monde 2023, Sexton évoque également dans son livre le dernier match de sa carrière, le quart de finale perdu contre la Nouvelle-Zélande (24-28).

« Je suis incapable de revoir le quart de finale », écrit Sexton dans l’extrait. « Je ne pense pas que je le ferai un jour. Je n’en ai pas besoin. J’ai repassé dans ma tête chaque seconde, encore et encore. Ça se termine toujours de la même façon. »

Sur un ultime ballon gratté au sol par Sam Whitelock, et une immense déception pour les hommes en vert, une fois de plus sortis dès les quarts de finale d’un Mondial.

Une fin amère pour Sexton, qui relate un échange entre lui et Rieko Ioane sitôt le coup de sifflet final.

« Après le coup de sifflet final de (l’arbitre Wayne) Barnes, il me dit : ‘Rate pas ton vol retour demain. Bonne retraite, sale c****rd’. C’est ça, la fameuse politique ‘No dickheads’ des All Blacks. Voilà leur humilité.

« Je suis Ioane et je le traite de faux-cul. Ce n’est pas terrible de s’en prendre à l’un d’eux, juste après une défaite. Mais je ne pouvais pas laisser passer cela ».

Cette anecdote avait jusqu’à maintenant causé beaucoup de réactions, mais on attendait toujours celle du principal mis en cause.

Elle est arrivée, comme souvent, via les réseaux sociaux. Ioane a publié sur son compte Instagram une story sans texte et sans équivoque.

Le joueur de 27 ans a partagé une photo de lui et Sexton prise le jour de ce fameux quart de finale, d’une carte de joker au-dessus de la tête du All Black, et d’un emoji représentant une maison en dessous du néo-retraité.

Le tout illustré par la chanson Zombie des Cranberries, qui était devenue l’hymne des supporteurs irlandais durant la Coupe du Monde, calée sur le début du refrain qui répète « In your head », « Dans ta tête ».

Les retrouvailles entre les deux équipes, même sans Sexton, promettent d’être explosives. Elles sont prévues pour le 8 novembre à l’Aviva Stadium de Dublin à l’occasion de la tournée d’automne de la Nouvelle-Zélande en Europe.

'Matches between Les Bleus and the All Blacks are rarely for the faint-hearted.'

Do you hear yourself? Do you have any concept of world view? Have you tried looking into why people call Ireland ‘arrogant’? Obviously not.


We started calling you arrogant when you called our captain a ‘shit Richie McCaw’. In New Zealand. On our turf. Don’t think that kind of behaviour really calls for respect, does it.


NZ don’t really talk ourselves up, if anything the rugby does it for us. No kiwi goes in the media and says: ‘We are gonna win the RWC’. However, I have found many instance of IRISH media saying that the Irish should win, without a doubt. THAT is disrespectful.


The All Blacks have played good rugby, even some of the best rugby ever, at many points in history, but I don’t think you could find a single instance of one of those players, or the NZ media, saying that they should whitewash their opponents. Ever.


Now, onto your analysis. Ireland DID choke the QF. They beat the champions, they were ranked first coming into it, a lot of players at the peaks of their powers. Its hard to say that they didn’t choke. Obviously, their preparation was just not as good as NZ, and thats all there really is to it.


If Ireland had repsected that ABs team and that QF more, maybe they would’ve prepared properly for it and won. But they didn’t.


Maybe if Ireland had won their QF last RWC, they wouldn’t have to be in the same pool as SA and Scotland. I mean, its called a draw for a reason. NZ got third last RWC, so of course they should get a reasonable pool, and they were ranked pretty highly too. If you want to talk about easy pools, look no further than Pool 3 with England, Australia, Fiji, and Georgia I think?


Now, obviously you don’t remember how that QF ended, so I’ll go ahead and rectify that. Ireland reclaimed the ball off kickoff and marched for 20ish phases into the opposition half. Savea then won a turnover, but the referee refused to give it, so play went on. Finally, at the NZ 22, after not giving up a single penatly in 25 phases of hard defense, Sam Whitelock, the most capped All Black of all time, wins the game with an incredible steal.


Now, NZ players having a go at Ireland. Do you cry when you get hit after making the first swing? We all know Sexton is a prick on the field, its just the truth. And Ioane never backs down from a clash, so he thought he should humble a player who has never won an international knockout game who thought he was all that. Don’t really see the issue, its poetic justice really.
