Will anybody notice if he's missing?

Sexton, one of the best outhalfs in world rugby? Id say yes

Kidney was terrified of giving Paddy Jackson responsibility when he was forced to play him last year, Joe has his work cut out to build up the lad's confidence at international level if he's going to head to Saint Denis as the starting out-half.

Surely Madigan is a far better option than Jackson?? No??

Jackson looks like a terrified schoolboy except when hes singing on youtube!!

Given it's Jackson that has been spelling Sexton this year and last it'd be an amazing call if Joe un-iced Madigan, hell even Madigan has had his struggles this year being engaged in a battle for the Leinster out-half position.

Jackson's played well for Ulster this year - albeit not taking the kicks when Pienaar has been playing - while Madigan hasn't been able to unseat Gopperth. Plenty forget that after the Scotland match last year Jackson did rightly in the draw with France including nailing some difficult kicks

I think that's as much down to O'Connor being a cautious coach and playing it safe with Gopparth. Madigan has his moments but he has an xfactor which he showed in Rome last year. Remember OConnor was part of a coaching set up that overlooked George Ford and Billy twelve trees at Leicester!!

The Irish medics have rubbished Metro's shite, Sexton will be fit for Italy, nevermind France.

It's looking more and more likely that Johnny will want to return home in the summer.
