Teddy Thomas, whose second-half try had set France on course for victory, said: "We know that he is capable of everything. He is one of the best 10 in the world, if not the best. Just before [his kick], we saw him on the ground with cramps. So he hid his intentions well."
However, promising France flanker Yacouba Camara has leapt to Sexton's defence.
"He's not a cheater, he's a champion," the 23-year-old Montpellier man said via a French outlet. "He had cramps and it suddenly improved for him. He took his shot well."Considering the manner in which France had what would have been a momentous victory snatched away from them in the dying embers, it was remarkably gracious of Camara to come out and heap praise on Sexton. During his post-match comments, Ireland manager Joe Schmidt had revealed that Sexton had to fight off cramp and fatigue towards the end of the game but, considering his match-clinching heroics, we hope he's refreshed and raring to go for the visit of Italy to the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
