Relaxed approach works wonders for Sexton

Ireland’s new fly-half Jonathan Sexton is hoping a calmer approach will enable him to make a successful start to his international career in Saturday’s game against Fiji at the RDS in Dublin.

Sexton admits he was often guilty of trying too hard in the past, but his career took a major step forward after coming on as an early substitute for Felipe Contepomi in Leinster’s Heineken Cup semi-final victory over Munster earlier this year.
