Captain Johnny Sexton has warned Ireland against complacency ahead of next year’s World Cup following a momentous series win in New Zealand.
Andy Farrell’s men underlined their credentials for the 2023 tournament in France by clinching a historic tour success against the All Blacks courtesy of Saturday’s pulsating 32-22 victory in Wellington.
Sexton, who surpassed 1,000 career points for his country in the Test decider, has repeatedly said the Irish must not repeat previous mistakes by peaking too soon for a World Cup.
But the influential fly-half also stressed that his side cannot afford to ease off before attempting to hit top form when it matters most.
