A single tackle in a rugby match has rarely generated such debate and controversy as the one the virtually unknown Fineen Wycherley rocked World Player of the Year Johnny Sexton with in the opening minutes of the Munster-Leinster Guinness PRO14 game at Thomond Park in December. Fineen Wycherley: Johann van Graan says the Munster No.6 is ‘never shy of contact and will never take a backward step’. “Growing up, Munster v Leinster were the big games,” he says. Because it was Johnny Sexton, I think it was blown up a lot more than usual. The Wycherley brothers pitched up camp at Young Munster and have no regrets.
