The fly-half is available to start Ireland’s World Cup opener against Romania in Bordeaux.
Sexton consequently sat out World Cup warm-up matches against Italy, England and Samoa but is available to start Ireland’s tournament opener against Romania in Bordeaux on September 9.
“I’ve never seen another process last eight weeks or seven weeks, whatever it was,” said Sexton, who confronted Peyper on the Aviva Stadium pitch, having watched his province’s agonising defeat from the stands due to injury. “I think when it affects your family you obviously go, ‘well, why are you upset?’ and ‘this happened, this happened, this happened, this happened. Five weeks later, this is still happening’.“Of course , but I’m not trying to play the victim.
Sexton goes into his World Cup swansong having not played competitively since sustaining a groin issue in helping Ireland clinch a Six Nations grand slam against England on March 18.
