Jack Conan says failing to give Johnny Sexton a fairytale farewell at the Rugby World Cup was arguably the most painful aspect of the “toughest” defeat of his career mobile
Captain Sexton was sent into retirement two games earlier than he had hoped by Saturday evening’s crushing 28-24 quarter-final loss to New Zealand in Paris mobile
Leinster number eight Conan, who came off the bench against the All Blacks, believes his long-term team-mate for club and country is the “greatest Irish player of all time” mobile
“I’ve lost a lot of big games in my career but this is definitely the toughest one to take,” he said mobile
“It’s not lost on us how much sacrifice people made to come and support us mobile
Whether you were here or at home, it has meant the world to all of us and it’s something we spoke about a lot mobile
“We’re genuinely just gutted that we couldn’t do it for them and that we couldn’t do it for Johnny, someone who deserves so much for the sacrifices he has made, for the player he is and for the man he is, for the leader that he is mobile
“He has been everything that has been good about Irish rugby for nearly two decades and to not give him the send-off that he deserves is probably the hardest thing to take mobile
It might be lost on people at times but he cares more than any player I have ever met in any sport I have seen mobile
Jack Conan on Johnny Sexton“He is how we measure ourselves, he is the standards setter, he is the leader, he is an unbelievably good bloke on and off the pitch mobile
“It might be lost on people at times but he cares more than any player I have ever met in any sport I have seen mobile
“He cares so much and he sacrifices so much and it doesn’t feel right that we couldn’t do it for him mobile
“In my eyes, he is the greatest Irish player of all time for what he has done and it’s been an incredible joy of mine to play with him for so many years and to have been in so many dressing rooms with him mobile
It’s just not right that we couldn’t do mobile better for him mobile
”Sexton’s 118th and final match in the green jersey marks the end of an era for Ireland mobile
Keith Earls is also retiring, while question marks hang over the international futures of other senior members of Andy Farrell’s squad mobile
Conan intends to carry on but concedes he may not be around for the 2027 World Cup in Australia mobile
“There’s so much talent in the squad and so much belief, maybe in four years’ time we’ll push on and we’ll go all the way,” said the 31-year-old mobile
“I don’t know if I’ll be there at that stage but there’s just so much talent coming through and lads will push on to make their debuts and add value to Irish rugby mobile
“You can’t take (away from) what this squad has done, so many firsts: first Test match victory in New Zealand, first Test series win in New Zealand, first Grand Slam at home, and it’s been a joy to be a small part of it along the way mobile
“I wouldn’t trade anything for what we’ve been through as a squad mobile
It’s tough to say now but you’d have to think that we’ll be mobile better down the line mobile
“There will be new faces and new people coming in who will get opportunities to push us forward and I’m hoping I can be a part of it and go on to achieve more, because it’s the greatest joy in my life to pull on this jersey and wear it for the people that helped me to get here to this stage mobile

Fran Kirby shook off suggestions she might feel intimidated by the new faces in England’s camp after she returned from her long absence in the 1-0 victory over Belgium on Friday mobile
Kirby had not played for England since the Lionesses faced the Czech Republic in a friendly last October and missed this year’s World Cup after undergoing knee surgery mobile
The Chelsea midfielder received a warm reception by the sold-out crowd in Leicester when she came on in the 65th minute of the Nations League clash mobile
Kirby said: “It feels like I haven’t been away mobile
Obviously, I know a lot of the girls from playing against them mobile
“Everyone who has come in has brought a fresh face and a new standard mobile
It has been nice to be in training around them and getting to know them more personally mobile
“I don’t think I need to mould in at all, I’m probably one of the oldest players here now mobile
I think I know what I’m doing mobile
“It’s nice to be on the pitch, it’s nice to get a win, so I’m happy mobile
“I’ve been working really hard over the summer to try and get back as quickly as possible and to be involved tonight was really special mobile
”Kirby, who has suffered a spate of injuries and fitness issues in recent years, announced in May she would be going under the knife to fix a knee issue that had long plagued her, with doctors determining surgery was the only way to rectify the situation mobile
The 2019-20 season saw Kirby diagnosed with pericarditis, a heart condition, and in 2022 she was sidelined with a fatigue-related illness that led to her installing an oxygen tent at her home mobile
As for this most recent problem, Kirby said: “At the beginning it was quite tough because you don’t really know when the end of the injury is mobile
I accepted quite early on that I wasn’t going to be part of the World Cup squad, not that it made it any easier mobile
“I was able to support the girls and feel the same emotions that they were feeling and going through mobile
Being back with them now just means that all of the hard work paid off in the summer mobile
”Friday’s victory moved the Lionesses up to second place in Group One, with a quick turnaround before they face Belgium again in Tuesday’s return fixture mobile
England need to finish top to advance in the tournament, which also serves as a qualifier for next summer’s Olympics in Paris mobile
Kirby’s reception from supporters was perhaps second-loudest to only former Leicester goalkeeper Mary Earps, who seemed to elicit a roar every time she made a stop en route to earning England a first clean sheet since they faced Nigeria in the last-16 at the World Cup mobile
Kirby said: “The support that I’ve had over the past year has been incredible from fans – national team and Chelsea mobile
I can’t fault anyone for their support and that has been really pivotal for me coming back mobile
“It’s frustrating when I’m injured and can’t be out there, so to hear that reception when I came on is really special and it’s something that I won’t forget mobile
“I’ve been working really hard to get back out on the pitch as much as possible and I want to stay there mobile
