Johnny Sexton dreamed of becoming a rugby legend from the moment he was born. A schoolboy star, he struggled to make a breakthrough at first but finally burst onto the scene with Leinster.
Johnny set his sights on the one team he wanted to play for more than anything else: Ireland. But someone was standing in his way. The Irish team already had a famous fly-half - Ronan O’Gara. Could Johnny up his performance and outshine his rival?
This is the story of how Johnny Sexton became one of the greatest Irish rugby players of all time, leading Ireland to Grand Slam glory and the becoming World Rugby Player of the Year in 2018.
A fantastic new book for kids, which will especially appeal to reluctant readers aged 7+, with a foreword written by Johnny Sexton.
