Sexton 'Very Proud' Of Record, But Win Was More Important

Head coach Andy Farrell said it was 'so fitting' that Jonathan Sexton broke Ronan O'Gara's record with a memorable try under the posts to become Ireland's all-time top points scorer.

O'Gara (1083 points) leapfrogged David Humphreys (560) at the top of the scoring charts back in February 2006, and now the mantle has passed to another talismanic number 10. Sexton's try and 11 points from the tee against Tonga took his career haul for Ireland to 1090.
