Sexton, Jennings back as Leinster set for Brive encounter

NORMAL business resumes for Heineken Cup champions Leinster at the RDS tonight (6 pm) with the return of Jonathan Sexton and Shane Jennings to face Pool Six whipping boys Brive.

Leinster coach Michael Cheika resisted the temptation to introduce the international pair from the bench even though he admitted that both, particularly Jennings, could struggle for air in the opening minutes.

However, he is confident they will make their mark on this crucial fixture a week ahead of what is expected to be the pool decider against London Irish at Twickenham.
