As Munster captain, Tadhg Beirne is ready to welcome Johnny Sexton to Thomond Park next season, and he’s even offered to put the Leinster legend up now that he’s threatened to switch allegiances over Rieko Ioane’s move to Dublin in December.
Whether Sexton follows up on his threat to buy a season ticket remains to be seen, but the concept gave the Kildare native some ammo around the Lions set-up in Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel earlier this week.
