Johnny Sexton a doubt for trip to Montpellier

Leinster could be without both Johnny Sexton and Tadhg Furlong for Sunday's European Champions Cup trip to Montpellier.

Sexton remains a doubt for the province after he missed last weekend's win over Castres with a hamstring strain and the out-half has yet to return to training.

Furlong suffered a hamstring injury during last Saturday's game at the RDS while flanker Rhys Ruddock is out with a calf tear.

Leinster Rugby CEO Michael Dawson also issued a statement on the unexpected death of Anthony Foley: “The thoughts of everyone at Leinster Rugby are with Anthony Foley's family on this very sad day. Munster and Irish Rugby have lost a great captain, leader, and one of the finest young coaches in the game.

“Anthony was a fierce competitor and rival with Munster for many years, but he was a gentleman away from the field and great company.

“Anthony played with unwavering pride and passion for his province and country every time he took to the field.

“He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the rugby community in this country and beyond. May he rest in peace.”
