A perfect 10 for boss Leo

Bath 7 Leinster 64

LEO CULLEN believes Leinster are benefiting from a 'rejuvenated' Johnny Sexton heading into the Champions Cup knock-out stages.

And skipper Sexton insists the province can be happy that they did all that they could to secure their place in the last 16 after the nightmare Montpellier walkover.

The Blues scored a whopping 23 tries in six days to secure their place in the last 16 - backing up last Sunday's record 13-try victory over Montpellier with 10 more against a weakened Bath at the Rec.

Sexton looked sharp on his first start since Ireland's victory over the All Blacks in mid-November.

He was on board for eight of his province's tries against the Premiership's basement club - including three in four minutes in the third quarter.
