Sexton back on the bench for Leinster

Leo Cullen has named Johnny Sexton on the bench for Leinster’s Heineken Champions cup game with Montpellier on Sunday.

The side will be captained by James Ryan and it will be the first time that the team has played since the fixture against Bath in Aviva Stadium on 11 December.

Hugo Keenan will wear the number 15 jersey, with Jordan Larmour and Jimmy O'Brien on the wings. O'Brien made his European debut against Montpellier last season.
