Sexton hopes to be fit for Magners tie against Edinburgh

JONATHAN SEXTON hopes to be fit for Leinster’s Magners League tie with Edinburgh on Sunday.

The Irish out-half has missed four matches since cracking his jaw during the Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Clermont Auvergne on April 9, including Saturday’s semi-final defeat in Toulouse.

The 24-year-old will have wires removed from his mouth this week and will hope to get the green light to start against the Scottish side on Sunday. If not, he will target the league semi-final the following weekend.
