History maker Johnny Sexton says "it's all about winning the games" after becoming Ireland's highest scoring player

IRISH captain Johnny Sexton says "it's not about personal achievements but about getting the win each week as a group" after passing out Ronan O'Gara as the all time highest points scorer during their second World Cup game against Tonga. 

Sexton has now scored 1,088 points after scoring Ireland's bonus point try before the half-time whistle in Nantes. 

The Leinster out-half was foot perfect from the kicking tee and aided Ireland's 59-16 victory. 

Johnny continued by saying the support was immense while looking around the stadium, "Just look around it is insane, every game we get a crowd like this at World Cups, I don't know how many people in Ireland can travel here to support us but they do it every time and it happens every time and we are happy to give them something to cheer about."

The start of the game was tough for Ireland as they struggled at the breakdown but eventually Ireland went through the gears to secure another win in the group and maintain their winning form ahead of the biggest challenge so far in South Africa next weekend.
