Sexton: France clash is personal
Jonathan Sexton has admitted that Saturday's 6 Nations clash with France will be personal after all the criticism he received
"I do think it's a little bit more personal especially some of the stuff that was written about me by certain French journalists," he said, after being passed fit to play.
"It does hurt when it is not true. I don't mind when people criticise my performance because that is black and white.
"You either play well or you don't and that is part of the job. But when they make up stuff about your personality and portray you as I don't think I am, that can hurt. So that's a little bit more personal.
"It probably came from the coach, who is probably trying to look after himself a little bit. But it is what it is."
