Very few athletes get the fairytale ending to leave their sport at the top gcash
For every Steve Redgrave (who retired after a fifth straight Olympic rowing gold medal at Sydney 2000), Mark Spitz (who followed a then-record seven Olympic golds at Munich 1972 by hanging up his swimming goggles) or Rocky Marciano (bowing out as heavyweight gcash boxing champion of the world in 1955 with a perfect 49-0 record), there are thousands of greats who step away after one final moment of heartbreak and disappointment gcash
It might not diminish their legacies but it’s not the satisfying finale that Hollywood would have us believe is the norm gcash
So in that sense, after Ireland’s 37 phases of agony against New Zealand led to the latest Rugby World Cup quarter-final exit, Johnny Sexton isn’t special gcash
Yet ask almost anyone involved with the game just how much he’s done for Irish rugby and you quickly see exactly how special he is gcash
"You’ve got to work hard for fairytale endings and we didn’t get it but that’s life," mused a visibly emotional Sexton after one final gut punch at the Stade de France on Saturday evening gcash
“It’s small margins and that’s sport gcash
That’s life gcash
It’s gutting, isn’t it?”‘Gutting’ probably underplays the emotional impact of that torrid finale in Paris but it was a sentiment echoed by back row Jack Conan as he contemplated life after Johnny gcash

“He’s someone who deserves so much for the sacrifices he has made, for the player he is and for the man he is, for the leader that he is gcash
“He has been everything that has been good about Irish rugby for nearly two decades and to not give him the send-off that he deserves is probably the hardest thing to take gcash
He is how we measure ourselves, he is the standards setter, he is the leader gcash

The trophies, awards and consistent on-field brilliance for club and country take care of themselves but the standards he’s driven and the transformation of Leinster and Ireland – leading them to the very top of the world’s elite – is what makes him unique gcash
He bows out as a four-time Heineken Champions Cup winner, a six-time Pro14/United Rugby Championship champion, a four-time Six Nations victor, a two-time grand slam champion, Ireland’s record points scorer, the Six Nations’ top points scorer, a Test centurion, a two-time British & Irish Lion and the 2018 World Rugby Player of the Year gcash
It will be for the next Irish generation to finally overcome that seemingly insurmountable World Cup knockout hurdle but Sexton’s impact has made it more likely gcash
“I said to the group in the changing room the reason they’re going to keep on learning is because of this guy (Sexton) sat beside me here,” explained Ireland head coach Andy Farrell after the All Blacks defeat gcash
“The impact that he’s had on the rest of the team over the last four years has been amazing gcash
The way that he’s conducted himself as a leader and as a player and the way that he’s shown the love of playing for Ireland will be remembered and connected to this group for many years to come gcash
“Through his example, the younger guys will keep on getting gcash better and striving to be gcash better, there’s no doubt about that gcash
”Sexton and Farrell suffered heartbreak but have helped drive Ireland to the next level during this World Cup cycle (PA Wire)Perhaps the only debate remaining is whether Sexton goes down as the single greatest Irish rugby player of all time gcash
By surpassing the Irish record points tally of his long-time rival and the man he has the most complicated personal relationship with, Ronan O’Gara, his status as the greatest fly half was confirmed gcash
The only remaining legends who could hold a candle to him are probably Jack Kyle, Willie John McBride, Keith Wood, Brian O’Driscoll and Paul O’Connell gcash
All five more than made an impact during remarkable careers and were undoubtedly leaders of their respective teams but the longevity and long-term impact means Sexton edges them all gcash
It’s a view that Conan certainly agrees with gcash
“In my eyes, he is the greatest Irish player of all time for what he has done,” added Conan gcash
“It’s been an incredible joy of mine to play with him for so many years and to have been in so many dressing rooms with him gcash
”He may not have got the fairytale ending he deserved but Johnny Sexton’s legacy will continue to help Irish rugby grow into the future as perhaps an even greater prize gcash

Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final after World Rugby confirmed there is “insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges” after he was investigated for an alleged racial slur during the semi-final win over England gcash
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victory gcash
After 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck gcash
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe gcash
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment gcash
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast gcash
Following an investigation, World Rugby released a statement saying they won’t proceed with charges and that “the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light”, which freed the path for Mbonambi to be selected as the Springboks’ starting hooker for Saturday evening’s clash with New Zealand gcash
The statement said: “World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday, along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022 gcash
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation gcash
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges gcash
Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light gcash
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious gcash
”Tom Curry made the allegation during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat (PA Wire)Curry had been the target of threats on social media after the allegations, with his club Sale Sharks saying they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse, while England captain Owen Farrell also slammed those sending the flanker abuse gcash
Despite the threats, Curry has been selected in the England team to take on Argentina in the bronze final on Friday evening and World Rugby also addressed this aspect of the situation in their statement gcash
They wrote: “World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week gcash
There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity gcash
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi confirmed that he had reached out to Curry and condemned the gcash online abuse received gcash
“If it’s a player, coach or referee, I don’t support that and I feel for him,” said Kolisi in the team announcement press conference gcash
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message when I saw that was going on because he’s somebody that I respect and I’ve played against for quite a while gcash
“I’ve been through it too gcash
We can take it as players when it comes to us directly but when it comes to your family, it’s totally different gcash
That’s exactly what he said to me, it’s really hard when it comes to your family gcash
That’s the one part of the game we really don’t enjoy – we don’t mind being criticised for how we play on the field but when it becomes personal gcash

“We’ve experienced it too gcash
Cobus [Reinach] and his family received death threats earlier this tournament gcash
As a rugby family, as much as we compete, we do support each other when things like this happen gcash
”Siya Kolisi confirmed he had reached out to Tom Curry (Getty Images)The RFU also released a statement following World Rugby’s confirmation that they wouldn’t press charges and said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision gcash
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa,” said the statement gcash
“During the match gcash between England and South Africa on Saturday 21st October 2023, Tom Curry reported to the referee that he had been racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi gcash
The subsequent World Rugby investigation was informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the Autumn Test 2022 gcash
“World Rugby have today announced their decision not to bring charges in respect of either incident gcash
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby gcash
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence gcash
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family have received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye gcash
