"I literally can't speak properly!"The Ulster hooker went on to explain exactly why he was speaking for Sexton. "Apologies," he began, as he read Sexton's speech.
"I have a throat infection. Laryngitis. Lost my voice. "Thank you to my teammates and coaches. If a number 10 wins an award like this it is down to the team around him and his coaches making it easier. We have some of the best coaches in the world and we are led superbly by Rory and Pete O'Mahony. "I would also like to thank my wife Laura who has been with me from the start. We have three young kids and she does absolutely everything to allow me to concentrate on the day job. I wouldn't have been able to have the season I have had without her."Sexton, via Best, also praised the other players that were nominated for the Best Player award too. https://twitter.com/WorldRugby/status/1066818445256392704 A speechless Johnny Sexton.
