Former Ireland and Leinster captain Johnny Sexton looks set to dive back into rugby after reportedly being offered a coaching role.
Sexton hung up his boots following the Rugby World Cup last year following a glittering career with Leinster, Racing 92, and Ireland, winning multiple team and personal accolades.
He has said previously he currently doesn’t want to get back into rugby, but the Irish Times are now reporting that the Irish management team has approached him to assume a part-time mentoring role with the Irish outhalves.
An agreement is yet to be finalised but the expectation is that he will have a small input during the Six Nations, and possibly the forthcoming Autumn Nations Series as well.
