Johnny Sexton has confirmed that he will retire from rugby after the 2023 World Cup.
Sexton, 36, has signed a new 18-month IRFU deal that takes him up to the finals in France, which will be his fourth World Cup.
Sexton, 36, has 103 Ireland caps and remains Andy Farrell's first-choice no 10.
"I'll finish at the 2023 World Cup," said Sexton in a press briefing this afternoon.
"When I do hang the boots up, I'll be like a lost puppy for a while but I'll throw myself into something else."
He added: "I want to go out at the top."
Sexton will captain Ireland in Saturday's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham.
