Sexton scores cracker against Benetton in Champions Cup

BY Shaywaterworth · Sunday Nov 17, 2019

Leinster fly half Johnny Sexton scored a fantastic try against Benetton in the opening weekend of Champions Cup rugby on Saturday.

The 34-year-old shrugged off two defenders on the half way line and then beat a further two players to make a clean break down the middle of the field.

The Ireland international then completed a neat one-two pass with Josh van Der Flier to finish off a wonderful try at the RDS Arena.
