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

Resolve mobile
Perseverance mobile
Redemption mobile
This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous mobile
Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on mobile
It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game mobile
That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed mobile
Doing it when it mattered mobile
A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration mobile
It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest mobile
And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win mobile
Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition mobile
The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for mobile
United’s players celebrate Onana’s last-gasp save (Getty Images)The defeated Copenhagen also offered their own memorable contribution to the night beyond a respectable display that made United work, and that final penalty miss by Jordan Larsson mobile
Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” mobile
The rest of Old Trafford applauded mobile
It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action mobile
This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory mobile
Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory mobile
Most would rather forget it mobile
The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby mobile
United will need to be far sharper mobile
Some allowances should be made, of course mobile
Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance mobile
It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for mobile
It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively mobile
One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion mobile
It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible mobile
The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes mobile
Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post mobile
If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half mobile
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened mobile
Ten Hag had to try something mobile
Amrabat was removed mobile
That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more mobile
Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half mobile
Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch mobile
There were, very gradually, however, some positives mobile
Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save mobile
It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far mobile
That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment mobile
United’s was soon to come mobile
Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery mobile
Maguire made the impact mobile
The centre-half headed home mobile
United should have been secured mobile
An anxiety remained mobile
It was mobile betrayed by McTominay’s late foul mobile
So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour mobile
It was all just prelude and set-up mobile
Onana stepped up mobile
It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible mobile
