Andy Farrell and Jonathan Sexton spoke to media today following the announcement of the Ireland team to play Romania on the opening weekend of Rugby World Cup 2023.

Sexton has been named to start for Ireland in their 2023 Rugby World Cup opener vs Romania on Saturday, for his first game of rugby in any form since March.

Sexton suffered a serious groin injury in Ireland's Six Nations Grand Slam-winning Test vs England in Dublin on March 18, which kept him out of the remainder of Leinster's club season.

The 38-year-old Ireland skipper was suspended for all three of Ireland's World Cup warm-up Tests in August due to a misconduct charge following the Champions Cup final, in which he approached and criticised referee Jaco Peyper.
