Could we see the return of Johnny Sexton on St. Stephen’s Day?
Leinster head coach Leo Cullen was in great form in the aftermath of his sides 60-13 drubbing of the Northampton Saints at the Aviva Stadium but he still wasn’t exactly forthcoming when it came to certain prying questions.
His side scored an incredible nine tries including two from flying winger, Adam Byrne, which has now placed them in pole position at the top of Pool 4.

Cullen was as diplomatic as ever during his post-match press conference where he reiterated that his side will keep their feet firmly on the ground as they enter the busy Christmas period.
The next couple of weeks will see Leinster meet Ulster at the RDS on 31 December but not before Cullen’s men face PRO12 leaders Munster on St. Stephen’s Day in Thomond Park.
When asked whether Johnny Sexton could make a return for the titanic clash, Cullen had this to say…
“We’ll wait and see. We will keep you in anticipation. We’ll see how he’s gone this week.”Â
Cullen also kept his cards close to his chest when asked whether the out-half would train this week.
“We’ll see, day by day.”Â
That’s not exactly ruling out the return of the 31-year-old so we may see him strut his stuff at Thomond Park yet.
Apparently we’ll see!
