This comment on reddit was pretty funny: "Hardly news is it, I mean he was called a c**t multiple times every game, sometimes by opposition players too."
James Haskell had a nice epithet for Sexton during a game that prompted Nigel Owens to ask him where he learned “language like that”? Haskell credited his mother 😂
Just copped a bit of his own medicine. Bloke got banned for abusing an official when he wasn’t even playing. Ireland also started the verbal warfare in 2022
Did any Irish player go up to an all black after they beat them for a series in NZ and give them shit after the game was done? No because we are not that scummy like you lot, truly awful people! It's ashame I really admired NZ rugby and the people but now you have shown to be shocking humans!
It’s only good for Rugby. I showed this to a friend of mine who doesn’t watch any rugby. Off the back of this he is going to watch the Ireland vs New Zealand game in the autumn. As for the actual incident, the old adage of dont dish it out if you can’t take it. Sexton has been dishing it out for years. He’s a competitive character. I assume Ioane is. That’s it.
I think the same, it's good to have these things as it brings attention. Anyone that thinks this kind of stuff doesn't go on in such a physical sport like rugby is clueless. It being public just adds a bit of spice. Rugby needs rivalries, they become bigger matches which brings more attention (which sometime leads to more money for the sport).
You're telling me rugby needs to run the ufc playbook... ...nobody cares about most fights, until they start running their mouths, and end up crying on live tv - then Boom! audiences frothing at the mouth to see the fight.
@@vanrensburgarchitecturebim1641 just highlighting that a bit of niggle can bring a much needed spotlight to Rugby. Or I guess Ioane could just apologise and say he’s really sorry and he won’t do it again.
@stephendoherty981 I was giving my very rough estimate based on observations. Do you want me to complete a study and research paper on the topic to ensure 100% accuracy?
As for that wishy washy French team for the NZ series, New Zealand Rugby should cancel that series and rather host South Africa for a full tour like the one planned to South Africa for 2026.

Last ten matches between Ire and ABs over 12 years stands at 5 wins apiece. That's a rivalry in anybody's language. Your nonsense opinion on this is irrelevant. More to rugby than a WC every four years.

Peter O’M has a lot to answer for. He single handedly motivated the ABs to winning the RWC quarter final against Ireland and also motivated Rieko Ioana’s very unsportsmanlike and ungentlemanly insult directed at Johnny Sexton.
O'Mahony's spray at Cane was no biggie - he probably thought 'fair point' himself if ure compared to a Goat - same as saying 'youre no Leo Messi' to any footballer!

@@turloughconway8178 it gets a lot harder to remain humble when you start winning things of import...something you guys are bad at, even without the success.
@@aldobonaso3481 That's a poor excuse. At least you admit NZ are not humble. Ireland have won a lot of 6 Nations and Grand slams, Won a test series in NZ and beat every top team on the planet 2-3 times consecutively to win 17 matches in a row. They are facts. They are wins and achievements of import. England won the RWC in 2003. They were humble. You have no excuses. This is your legacy that is getting thrown out with the toys in your prams.
@@turloughconway8178 it's 1 player mate. The NZ team as a whole still adhere to their humility moniker pretty well if I'm being honest (better than most teams). Also I suppose I'd give more credence to the complaint if it was somebody with a cleaner reputation than Sexton that was involved...but it is what it is. Edit: aside from some of the pundits and the fans, I'm soaking specifically about the team and management. Some of the pundits are complete ass tools
Johnny has always been a big mouth himself he just can't take it when he gets it back 🤦♂️ Live by the sword!! Funny thing is the Shit Richie McCaw comment was just as disrespectful imo but Sammy being Sammy he just laughed it off and went about working his butt off to rub those words back in Peters face and on the most important stage possible.
POM said that in the heat of the game you tosser! Reiko walked up to sexton after the whistle and started chirping like the scummy little rat he is, how can you try and defend this pathetic nonsense??
Exactly. Referring to him as Jabba the Hut & Baron Vladimir Harkonnen because of his weight is f@cked. Especially with Rassie's medical issues (microscopic polyangiitis with granulomatosis) resulting in his weight shifts. Going after the coach of a team that beat NZ 4 times in a row is beyond pitiful and then apologizing to Jabba and Harkonnen for referencing them to Rassie. Defamation of character. Klomp naaiers.

Like, seriously, what’s going on? How much Klippies [Brandy] and coke has he been on? Honestly, he’s just sitting there and I said like, he reminds me of - and this is not a weight issue - but he had the countenance of Jabba the Hutt.

Who are you speaking for? Even Hansen has discussed the comments and disrespect by NZ after the game. They abused the Irish spectators FFS. We owe them one.
Reading the Johnny Sexton biography. My fave part was when Johnny Sexton met Jonny Wilkinson going for a walk and the Irish got a moral victory over the English Wilkinson "Love those dogs you're walking there Johnny - are they Jack Russells by any chance?" Sexton "Fokof dey're mine - you can even ask Jack Russell's Springbok brother Brent and he will tell you!"
Yeah 😂 sure let’s look ah how much money he will make off the book now because he releases that quote a few weeks before the sell date . All of you princesses can’t shut up about it
It's so cool that the Irish have made themselves a factor with Kiwi and Bok fans. It shows that they've really become a good team. Kinda replacing Oz as part of the big 3
Ireland seem to have got their house in order and are producing enough players each year to be a constant top 4 team and offer genuine competition to SA, France and ABs which is great for rugby as too few top teams
@Crimsonfate I couldn't agree more. They got rid of the kiwi coaches and gave second rate kiwi players jobs, taught them how to play rugby and now they are ranked no.1 in the world. It begs the question - Is NZ rugby really just based on Pacific innate talent alone? I mean no NZ coaches have any real success abroad - Warren Gatland is statistically the most successful and his sides are woeful.
@@fentomime64 What a load of nonsense. Bundee Aki, James Lowe, Mack Hansen, Jamison Gibson Park, et al were all internationally capped players who went over to Ireland in their prime and rescued your garbage union. You didn’t teach them jacksh*t.
1. Boks have not had the better of Ireland in recent years. Despite the obvious weight of back to back RWC titles, we can’t claim to be undisputed best in the world until we beat Ireland consistently. Until then we are perhaps a short nose ahead of esteemed competitors ABs, Ireland, France and England at the moment. 2. Sexton deserves the chirp he got from Rieko. One of the great rugby players of recent decades and worthy of respect by his peers and pundits throughout the world. But just too full of himself to be classed as a true world legend of the game. Probably a great bloke in your team, but not the genuine role model that sets the legends apart. Just a humble opinion.
Reiko insults make him worse than Johnny ! How do you people accuse Johnny of all this arrogance yet he didn't do that to NZ players after beating them on home soil to win a series.

From a South African, it seems both Kiwi's and Irish love dishing out the blarney it'll all blow over with the game, which we're anticipating with bated breath. The South is rising...
More like falling the Kiwis are running the game like the Welsh, not sure South Africa will exist as a state in 4 years come next world cup, Argentina has serious fixture congestion problems, Japan has got Eddie Jones’s touch of shite and Australia shot themselves in the foot years ago.

Maybe humility means something different in Ireland.
@@28coplandMate, I think you kinda proved his point. That aside, the Irish are well respected here in NZ for what they’ve done on the rugby field. Looking forward to Dublin.

Getting totally fed up with all the negative comments about Sexton. It’s an autobiography for gods sake, is he supposed to lie. It was widely reported at the time. I get that Sexton was sanctioned for his comments to the ref, rightly but it doesn’t negate the fact that Ioane’s comments were crass and unsportsmanlike. Sexton was is and will always remain a world class player
You just don’t get it. Him even mentioning it in a negative way in his book is the ultimate in hypocrisy. He was and always will be a whining, foul mouthed twat.

Ulster and Ireland fan here. Reiko and Ardie played out of their skins in that game. If Reiko was still at 110% at the final whistle it’s not a surprise. Don’t think anyone will be lining up any special treatment for him next year.
He abused Irish spectators also (twice) after the match. The Irish vice Captain also received abuse from NZ players. Ioane was actually guilty of misconduct. Hansen was discussing this recently in an inteview so you will see an Irish reaction to the disrespect.
Don't know why you suggest this is causing a storm here in Ireland, I had to search for the reference. You are bigging it up for your own purposes, its a non-story here
Hansen mentioned comments after the game in a ecent interview. Not a big story here, but the disrespect to Irish captain, vice-captain and supporters after final whistle has adversly affected the relationship. You will see on the pitch.
If we’re being totally honest, Sexton was a pain in the hole for every opposition player, and the refs too. He attracts sledging. And if we’re also being honest, there is a world of difference between O’Mahony sledging Cane DURING a game in the 2nd of 3 tests, and then shaking his hand after, than Rieko saying what he said to Sexton AFTER the game in what was Sexton’s final game. It completely lacked any element of class and was contrary to the spirit of the game where you shake hands after the whistle and have a beer.

It has been fascinating watching this drama between Johnny Sexton and Reiko Ioane that happened at the final whistle of last year's World Cup Quarter Final, get reignited by the release of Sexton's Autobiography. We know that both players said some things in the heat of the moment they probably shouldn't have, but I don't think we really know who fired the first shot. Obviously Sexton has claimed that Ioane was the instigator, but to the best of my knowledge we never saw the whole incident unfolding on camera so it's just as likely that Sexton fired first. Sexton had a reputation of being a mouthy player and was banned prior to the World Cup for abusing former referee Jaco Peyper from South Africa. Ioane is someone who won't hesitate saying a few words if he thinks it's necessary, but it's also likely that he did fire the first shot. At the end of the day, what happens on the field should stay on the field. Rugby should be about being enemies on the field but mates off it.
Ioane abused Sexton after the final whistle. Its not in dispute. Johnny Sexton was the losing Irish captain. The losing Irish vice captainw as also abused after the final whistle. The Irish spectators were abused twice by NZ players. Whats at stake here is respect for beaten opponents.
@@turloughconway8178 as I said, we don't actually know who fired the first shot in that confrontation after the final whistle. Either player could have been the instigator. Given Johnny Sexton's reputation of being quite mouthy on the field, it's likely that he said something first and has twisted the truth trying to make it look like Reiko Ioane was the instigator. Sexton is also trying to sell his autobiography so it's likely that he chose to throw that allegation in there to spark up interest in it. He also falsely claimed that Sam Whitelock was the tackler and didn't release the ball carrier when he earned the penalty to give the All Blacks the win. If Ioane was the instigator it probably came from a desire to give Sexton a dose of his own medicine. Let's not forget that Peter O'Mahoney was caught on the referee's microphone in 2022 calling Sam Cane a "shit Richie McCaw". The All Blacks hated that sledge and were obviously keen to right a few wrongs when they met the Irish again in that World Cup Quarter Final. That may have been why Ioane did what he did if he was the instigator.
@@noelburland7169 IF there was a shot fired it was sledging during the match which is allowed. But there is no reports of that. Abvsing an opposition captain, vice captain and supporters after the final whistle is unheard of in the RWC match of any description. Mocking beaten opponents isnt humble. It is disgustingly arrogant. The reason NZ dsirespected Ireland was nothing to do with sledging: it was because we beat them in the series. Not so humble ABs eh?
@@turloughconway8178 you have no way of proving that Ioane fired the first shot in the incident. In fact no one knows who started it. Given the fact that you are now claiming without proof that Ioane also disrespected the Irish Vice Captain and the supporters in the crowd, you have shown to me that you have no real argument and have let your Irish bias get the better of you!
