Ireland assistant coach Johnny Sexton says Edwin Edogbo didn’t pay too much attention to the online racial abuse that he received in the aftermath of his international debut last weekend.

Cobh-born and bred Edogbo was subjected to a torrent of nasty remarks, which the IRFU strongly condemned and launched an investigation into.
