Johnny Sexton says Leinster's search for a fourth successive Guinness PRO14 title is now in their own hands after the province recovered from a slow start to beat Ulster 24-12 at the RDS.

Leinster went into the game trailing Conference A leaders Ulster by 10 points in the table, with only one team from each conference advancing to this year’s final. The bonus-point now puts Leo Cullen’s side just five points behind with the added boost of two games in hand.
