In case you don’t have time to listen right now, here’s a quick run down of what he said.
“We’ve got to talk about the man of the tournament, in my view, Johnny Sexton,” said McLaughlin on the latest episode of The Hard Yards.
“The key to us winning a Grand Slam is for him to play pretty much every minute but like when is the last time Johnny has played four games in a row for Ireland without getting a knock?
“Johnny has always got a knock. He’s never played a game in his entire career without getting a knock.”
