Johnny Sexton insists he will do his talking on the pitch after the latest side-swipe from France ahead of a meeting of Les Bleus and Ireland.

Going through return to play protocols after a head injury the previous weekend in Cardiff, the veteran skipper didn't play in the Six Nations game in the end and Ireland lost 15-13 in Dublin.
