Ronan O Gara: Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton s futures are different debates
Ireland is looking for someone to back up Murray at nine. The 10 issue is a perfect reverse: we should be wondering who Sexton is backing up and mentoring as a third choice.
Andy Farrell et al knows better than you or I that the attack is a work in progress, that Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray does not work for Ireland at the 2023 World Cup, writes Ronan O Gara

Didn’t think so.
When some people talk about ‘under-pressure Andy Farrell’, I am moved to wonder: Under pressure from whom? The public? And water is wet. That is an abstract issue. Being ‘under pressure’ is not the sort of language a coach in Farrell’s position really concerns himself with anyway.
