Johnny Sexton gave an amusing response where he played off the typical interview soundbites that players come out with. In the wake of Ireland securing an historic series victory over the All Blacks in Wellington, he gave a remarkably measured interview with Sky Sports.
In it he savoured the achievement but also acknowledged that it won't count for anything by the time next year's World Cup rolls around. And when the interviewer wrapped things up by asking him how they'd celebrate the occasion this evening, he gave a wry smile and said: "Ah it'll be quiet. We have to er, recover."
The Ireland fly-half, who turned 37 this week, continues to defy the ageing process as he was fantastic throughout this decisive test. He only missed two kicks at goal and one of them was from the half-way line and struck the bar.
