Ireland suffered a heavy defeat against New Zealand this Saturday in the first match between the two countries on this summer’s tour. Ireland is 42-19. Another shock dismissal from Jonathan Sexton, leader of the Irish game. Unfortunately an exit we are used to seeing by now.

One might think that the Leinster fly-half will not be able to play the second Test due to the developed concussion protocol, which suggests the player must take at least 7 days rest before resuming, Jonathan Sexton could be the best. In the team next Saturday.

Indeed, as XV of Clover coach Andy Farrell noted in a press conference, his first half did not come out of shock during the match.

“Johnny is fine. He’s in good spirits. He passed his HIA 2. He’s in good shape. “It’s not confirmed. They tested it and deemed it unfit to continue with all sorts of tests going on. You can walk in your shoes, you know, don’t go on.”

In short

Ireland suffered a heavy defeat in the first Test against New Zealand. Jonathan Sexton’s fresh shock at the start made the match stand out. But according to his coach, he could be deployed next Saturday.
