New year, new social media savvy Johnny Sexton.
Sexton has never been the most active on social media. In fact, he has been non-existent. 2018 has seen that change - perhaps there was pressure from various brands for the Ireland out-half to establish an online presence. The 32-year-old is now on both Twitter and Instagram.
No.6 on the way 🤣

This week has seen a bit of back and forth between Sexton and summer signing James Lowe.
It’s been set up before lad!! Wasn’t as popular as @boringkearney but good luck getting it going. Thank God you only have 5k followers.

Earlier this month, Leinster players described Lowe as being a 'different' personality. Andrew Porter actually said the New Zealander was as bit of a 'oddball'.
Still, Lowe and Sexton appear to be getting on well.
.@jameslowenz What fascinates me about you James is how such a big arse could be so tight #lostmywalletlowe

He's also getting to grips with Instagram stories. Jordi Murphy, in Spain for a warm weather training camp with Ireland, was his first victim.
