(Reuters) - Flyhalf Jonathan Sexton is taking nothing for granted over his selection in the autumn international series as he stands on the brink of bringing up a century of appearances for Ireland sometime next month.

Sexton was a controversial omission from the British & Irish Lions squad that lost their series in South Africa earlier this year, and has battled on and off with head injuries in particular in recent times.
