After Leinster’s defeat against Ronan O’ Gara’s side La Rochelle in Dublin which saw them lose their second Champions Cup final in a row against the same side, it was reported that Ireland’s fly half got into an argument with Jaco Pyper whom the referee for the clash after the loss was.

Sexton is now being faced with multiple misconduct charges for comments thrown at the match official.

It’s possible that Sexton could face up to a ten-week absence which will drastically damage his preparation for the World Cup where Ireland is one of the favorites with the number-one ranking in the world.

If the Irish captain gets the ban, it will mean he will miss key friendly games that Ireland manager Andy Farrell uses to pick the side that will go to Paris.
