Leo Cullen: We used the space Saracens left when they 'played Johnny late off the ball'

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen has insisted his side - and particularly their rampaging openside Dan Leavy - benefited from what he felt was a deliberate tactic by Saracens to target Johnny Sexton yesterday.

Saracens trailed 13-12 at half-time but a flurry of 10 points, underpinned by Dan Leavy's marauding 46th-minute try, ultimately swept the tournament favourites out of sight to their 30-19 victory in Sunday's quarter-final in Dublin.
