French affair

You seem to be very angry about something that's clearly hearsay FD...?
The problem with Racing is as highlighted though, except the bigger boys can't even win the ball to pass to him. I imagine every back in the Racing squad is equally as frustrated with the current state of things though, not Sexton alone.
For me the big red flag last summer was when they wasted an absolute fortune on buying in Tonga Uhia & Mujati from Saints, based on their reputations from three season ago. Those tow are a busted flush and didn't string together two decent back to back performances in a couple of years. Tonga Uhia was exposed during the RWC 2011 as simply PRL Poster Boy when he struggled to get into the Tonga side and when he did maange he was shown up on the pitch. He hasn't been the same player since.
Tonga Uhia in 10 matches has managed only 4 starts and 360 minutes rugby in all so far.
Mujati in 10 Matches has managed 5 starts and a massive 390 mins rugby...
In fact the rest of the high profile signings from last summer have only managed half a dozen games each as well, Lydiate, Roberts...
Sexton by comparison, 13 matches and 10 starts for nearly 900 mins rugby...
If as clearly seems to be the case he came having being promised one thing and despite him delivering (which despite the results he actually is) then he's entitled to wonder WTF is going on, he'll also have been recruited as a leader so voicing an opinion on the matter internally is well within his remit also..

Someone I know, who happens to be a Leinster season ticket holder, despite been born in Connacht, works with a lady who is also a Leinster season ticket holder. Said lady, lives nextdoor to Jonny Sextons parents. <strong>Jonny's Dad has told her, that he is not enjoying France one bit</strong>.
Not really news, as you can see it on his face during Heineken Cup games, but you wonder if has told the other Irish lads what it is like
My heart bleeds for him. For Christ sake, he is a "professional" rugby player getting paid a fortune. Needs to grow a pair and stop crying that <strong>the bigger boys in school yard will not pass him the ball.</strong>
