Schmidt to wait on Cullen and Sexton

Leinster coach Joe Schmidt will wait on the fitness of captain Leo Cullen and out-half Jonathan Sexton in naming an extended 25-man Leinster squad to face Racing-Métro 92 in Saturday's Pool 2 Heineken Cup opener at The RDS (KO: 1.30pm).

He will give both players as long as he can before making a decison around lunchtime tomorrow with Cullen's experience necessary against a massive Racing pack.
