Leinster look to Sexton factor for lift

Fergus McFadden believes Leinster can reap the benefits of a rejuvenated Jonathan Sexton as they prepare for a quartet of crucial Guinness PRO12 games starting with the visit of Munster to the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

The out-half had endured a difficult season until the recent Six Nations.

Sexton admitted it had been a struggle recalibrating for club duty in the wake of a World Cup ruined by injury and an early team exit; his stuttering form reflected those difficulties. That all changed during February and March, however.
