    The St. Mary's College and Leinster fly half has impressed for Leinster since breaking through from the Academy in recent seasons. He made his senior debut for Leinster in January 2006 against Borders. He has been capped at U21 and Ireland A, playing in the Churchill Cup against England Saxons, NZ Maori, Canada and Scotland. Sexton's form for Leinster has seen him come of age last season when he took over from Felipe Contepomi at outhalf for Leinster steering the province to their first European Cup championship. Originally called into Ireland’s 2008 Six Nations squad but a broken thumb meant he could not take part, but his patience would be rewarded during the 09 Autumn series when he made his senior debut against Fiji then South Africa.

    Sexton extended his cap tally during Irelands 2010 Six Nations campaign where he started against England and Wales
