The Twitter reaction to Johnny Sexton's Second Captains interview on Wednesday was...interesting.
The IRB World Player of the Year nominee tends to save his fireworks for the pitch, but the soon-to-be-Leinster-again outhalf had to field some difficult questions from the Second Captains panel, including a slightly awkward query about the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
You can watch the interview over on the RTÉ Player but for many of those who did see the interview, the response was less than glowing.
Thought Sexton was gonna do a Downey Jnr tonight on @SecondCaptains when he was asked about Charlie Hebdo — Kevin Byrne (@KevooByrne) April 30, 2015
next week @SecondCaptains will show a wall with paint drying to top the excitement of this Johnny Sexton interview... — Andrew Newman (@andyjnewman) April 29, 2015
This Jonny Sexton interview is sleep inducing @SecondCaptains — Len Raynor (@Connoed) April 29, 2015
@SecondCaptains ask Johnny if he invented sexting — David O'Doherty (@phlaimeaux) April 29, 2015
But in reality, do we really care? He may not be a sparkling television personality in years to come, but we're happy enough with him as he is on the pitch.
