Leo Cullen has welcomed news that his former Leinster captain Johnny Sexton could be poised to assume a mentoring role with Andy Farrell’s young Ireland out-halves.

The retired No.10 has repeatedly distanced himself from the world of coaching and has started life in the corporate role with new employers since bringing an illustrious playing career to an end after last year’s Rugby World Cup.
