Cullen leaves door open for Sexton to feature post-World Cup

Leinster head coach Leo Cullen hasn’t ruled out the possibility of Jonathan Sexton featuring for the province after next year’s World Cup.

The veteran out-half brought speculation as to his intentions to an end last March when declaring he would retire after the 2023 competition in France and he could have hardly been any clearer about it.
