Sexton: we can cope without O’Driscoll

JONATHAN SEXTON insists that Leinster have the strength in depth to deal with the loss of Brian O’Driscoll should the Irish captain fail to recover from his hamstring injury for Saturday’s Heineken Cup clash with Saracens.

The centre suffered the damage during the second-half of last week’s win over Racing Metro 92 although he could still feature at the weekend.

“I don’t think his injury is as bad as first feared. If he’s gone, we’ve got two good replacements in Fergus McFadden and Eoin O’Malley. Whoever he puts in there, we’re confident with the squad we have.
