    Brian O’Driscolls autobiography was up there as one of the worst autobiographies ever released

      Ya I tried my best but for such an incredible player better than sexton in my opinion it was an insanely boring book.

      @@patrickoleary2862 Fair, and I was a bit harsh. He is personable, I suppose I mean that I can't see him ever having a controversial opinion or taking a strong view on anything.

    I can't get over the amount of disgraceful comments on social media from South Africans and New Zealanders, he really did a number on them, one year later and they are so disproportionately reactive to any headline with his name. I absolutely love it!

      And as for the "number", I believe Ireland's is zero?

      South Africa:🏆🏆🏆🏆
      New Zealand:🏆🏆🏆
      Ireland:we cant get out the quarters
      Years from now no one is gonna care that Ireland beat South Africa and New Zealand in a few tests, but everyone will know which teams names are on the Webb Ellis trophy. They will also know who never gets out of the quarters. Sexton verbally abused referees, just imagine what he said to players during matches. If he wants to dish it out,he should be able to take it. Why is he whining now?

      I'm no Sexton fan but he was a performer and more than just a rugby player. I salute him. Hope to read his book.

      Nasty opposition fans. Don't know rugby. Obsessed, no pun intended, with their own teams successes and disregard the other teams/nations heroes.

    I agree. Don't matter buts nice to read a good/ great sportspersons autobiography. You can get insight why they were better than the ordinary player.

    Its the writer. Ive read many rugby biographys of great players and as much as I always enjoy them often the story is let down by how its written..how they are presented.. The great ABs loose-forward Micheal Jones book comes to mind..
