Rugby Union: No complaints from Sexton

Ireland's Jonny Sexton is looking forward to playing as many games as possible on the British & Irish Lions' tour of Australia.

Lions coach Warren Gatland has been criticised for only selecting two fly-halves in his squad - Sexton and Owen Farrell. With games in midweek and on a Saturday up to the first Test, the stand-offs look set to be involved in the majority of match-day 23s. The odds on more than 3.5 Irish players starting the first Test between the Lions and Australia are 8/13 with bet365. Sexton insists he will be happy with a busy schedule, saying: "I think it's great that we will have games, it's something to focus on. I won't be complaining if I'm asked to double up from Saturday to Wednesday as I haven't played too much rugby." The odds on the Lions winning all ten of their matches while on tour this summer are 7/1.
