Leinster boosted by Sexton return for Connacht clash

Jonathan Sexton will start Leinster's Champions Cup Round 16 clash against Connacht on Friday night

Johnny Sexton has returned to the Leinster starting line-up for tomorrow’s Heineken Champions Cup round of 16 first leg encounter against Connacht at the Sportsgrounds.

The Ireland captain hasn’t played for the province since the Six Nations, sitting out the URC defeat of Connacht at the same venue two weeks ago and then the convincing defeat of Munster in Limerick that followed.
