Nooooo!!!!

Jonathan Sexton has confirmed that Gordon D’Arcy’s beard will disappear if Ireland win their next three games and secure the Grand Slam. D’Arcy has been cultivating his magnificent tribute to Brian Blessed since last summer but Sexton says that he’s not a fan of it. Not a fan at all. The dastard. “It’s a horrible looking thing,” Sexton revealed during an interview with Today FM on Monday. “I said to Darce before the New Zealand game, ‘if we win, you’re gonna shave your beard’ and he said ‘yeah’. “So that was probably one of the biggest disappointments about not beating New Zealand, taking that horrible thing off. “Now we’ve got a Grand Slam on the line and, I think it was in the post match function I said: ‘for the people of Ireland we want to win the Grand Slam not just to give them something to celebrate, but to get rid of Gordon D’Arcy’s beard.’”
