Leinster must target Toulon’s strengths, reckons Jonny Sexton

As they prepare to head into the lion’s den against title holders Toulon on Sunday afternoon, Jonathan Sexton believes that Leinster need to attack the strengths of the Top 14 giants in their latest European Rugby Champions Cup fixture.

Speaking at the Leinster Schools Cup Draws in Dublin’s College Green last night (where his old alma mater - St Mary’s College - were paired with near rivals Terenure College in the first round of the Senior Cup), Sexton feels that tackling the Toulon breakdown could be the key to a successful performance in Mayol.

“It’s as much about stopping their strengths as exposing them. They’re very strong at a lot of things,” Sexton remarked.
