Even in retirement, Jonathan Sexton continues to cause a lot of ink to flow and, above all, to get his ex-adversaries talking. After his team's victory against the Irish, Rieko Ioane wrote a message on his Instagram account which seems to be addressed to the former fly-half. Enough to greatly cultivate the dispute between the two men.
“Put it in your book” no swearing this time. But the message still seems to be addressed to the same Johnny Sexton. After the great victory of “NZ” in Irelandcenter Rieko Ioane shared this sweet message on his Instagram account. Five words to rekindle the flame of an old affair between the two.
A dispute that began in the soft Parisian night in the middle of the Stade de France, when the New Zealander presented his retirement wishes to the Irishman after the incredible victory of the Blacks in the quarter-final of the World Cup. “Don't miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement, asshole” would have whispered first to the very young retiree just after the final whistle of a match still in the annals. In any case, this is what Sexton said in his book Obsessed – The Autobiography of Johnny. Obviously Ioane wants a second episode of the work and especially a new chapter in her name.
A historic match for Ioane
This is a funny way to celebrate a historic match even before it kicks off for Reiko Ioane. It was he who led the haka in the middle of the Aviva. A huge honor for any All-Black, but not enough to bury the hatchet on the New Zealander's side.
