-Farrell on Sexton hop/jig -
'It was embarrassing, wasn't it. That was cringey.'
-Sexton - 'I didn't do a dance, did I, I jumped in the air. I definitely didn't. I'm not a dancer, I can confirm that.'
-Farrell - 'You will be tonight'
Sexton: "I feel a little bit guilty; the last two years Cian Healy got his 100th cap in an empty stadium, Rob Kearney, Fergus McFadden retired in an empty stadium...for me to get the chance to do this today, I’ll remember it forever."

Schmidt to
@SatSportRTE
on Carbery: The good news is there's no fracture because we've had him x-rayed but there is a bit of swelling, we'll let that go down over the next 24 hours. It's too soon to say, but I don't think it's going to keep him out of the World Cup.
Farrell: 'No injuries, we've been very lucky...it's wonderful to win but there's not much in it. We get to feel the intensity of big match in a World Cup'

Josh van der Flier: "It's an incredible feeling, it's doesn't get much harder; this was the goal. It looked ropey after the first week and it was great to finish like that. We knew we had it in us. We've played them a few times and managed to get a few wins."

Peter O'Mahony: We showed incredible resilience and skills to score a well-worked try on a poor surface, a great try to finish it off. We stuck to our guns. The last five minutes there, class.

In the trailer for the anti-vax "documentary" DIED SUDDENLY a video of Florida Gators basketball star Keyontae Johnson collapsing on the court is shown.
Johnson collapsed at a game on December 12, 2020, before vaccines were even available.

@jimbeglin
Jim, doesn't a very experienced defender like Luiz know full well that if he cuts across the back of an attacker going at speed there is a big chance of contact, which at that pace causes the clip and trip. That it's not a lunge or kick is irrelevant. Ref knew this,

too
