**A break in domestic action for the conclusion of the European competitions has not stopped players from Guinness PRO14 clubs stealing the headlines.** We start today’s Media Watch in Ireland where Leinster are celebrating after Johnny Sexton was [nominated for the World Rugby Men’s 15s Player of the Decade award](http://www.leinsterrugby.ie/johnny-sexton-nominated-world-rugby-player-decade/). Ireland captain Sexton will hope to add the accolade to his packed trophy cabinet, which also includes his World Rugby Men’s 15s Player of the Year award from 2018. Staying in Ireland, Iain Henderson has been handed a three-week ban after he was shown a red card during Ulster’s 24-12 Guinness PRO14 win over Ospreys in the last round. The ban is bad news for Ireland boss Andy Farrell as it means Henderson will miss his country’s [two remaining 2020 Guinness Six Nations games against Italy and France](http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/rugby/international/iain-henderson-to-miss-ireland-s-six-nations-fixtures-due-to-three-week-ban-1.4381901). A disciplinary committee accepted he deserved red for making contact with Dan Evans in the 75th minute but reduced his ban from six to three weeks on the back of his clean disciplinary record. Meanwhile, although there is no Irish province in this year’s Champions Cup final, two Munster and Ireland exiles will contest the European showpiece at Ashton Gate on Saturday. Donnacha Ryan and Simon Zebo are both in the running to face Exeter Chiefs for Racing 92 and attack coach Mike Prendergast - a former Munsterman himself - [has discussed their qualities](http://www.rte.ie/sport/rugby/2020/1015/1171669-calm-and-positivity-zebo-and-ryan-racing-to-final/). He said: ”One is a calmness, from Donnacha, and the other is positivity, from Donnacha as well but Simon is an incredible positive guy - anyone that knows him can see.” Over in Wales, Jonathan Davies has [revealed his rugby motivation is stronger than ever](http://www.wru.wales/2020/10/great-buzz-in-wales-camp-says-davies/) after the Scarlets centre recovered from a knee injury which left his career in the balance.
