Outhalf not concentrating on coaching as he prepares for new career after doing work experience

Ireland’s outhalf Johnny Sexton has confirmed he will be retiring from rugby this year and stepping away from the game after retirement, with a focus on a new career in the business world.

The 37-year-old will bring an end to a glittering career after the Rugby World Cup in France in September. On the prospect of being a rugby coach after his playing career, he said: “I would never say never, you never know what life is going to throw at you. At a press conference ahead of the Scotland game on Sunday, Ireland rugby captain Johnny Sexton discusses what life after playing rugby holds for him.

“It wouldn’t be my plan straight away, if an offer came in, it wouldn’t be right for me to coach with guys I played with the last number of years. I certainly wouldn’t want to jeopardise this year, because if they find out you’re coaching them, the relationship changes straight away. I won’t be doing it for the foreseeable future.”
