World Cup goal-kicking pressure on Johnny Sexton heats up

100 days to go to the World Cup, and not a flight booked yet.

Rugby's biggest tournament [sorry LV Cup] kicks off on September 18 and, from tomorrow onward, we will be into double figure countdown dates. While the Irish rugby players are off getting the heads showered and, in Paul O'Connell's case, penning a farewell ode to Munster that will include the words 'challenge', 'Toulon' and 'new', use mere mortals are forced to live through a rugby-less summer. One bookies has attempted to break up the boredom by offering a number of novelty bets. To mark the 100-day countdown, Ladbrokes has announced three 100/1 bets that may well coax a coin from your lint-filled pocket.
