Jonny Sexton leaves Ross O'Carroll-Kelly a special message

Rosser has tweeted this pic of a note written by the Racing Metro out-half.

IRELAND AND RACING Metro out-half Jonny Sexton has recently been promoting his new autobiography ‘Becoming A Lion’ .

Over the past week, he visited a number of bookshops in Dublin to meet fans and sign their copies. One such fan is fictional character and all-round total rugby ledge Ross O’Carroll Kelly, who tweeted his delight this afternoon.

Included was a pic of the title page of the book, which he has signed with the phrase “Eat nerves, shit results” — regularly used by Rosser.

Here’s a closer look:
