Brian O'Driscoll revealed after Leinster's stunning Heineken Cup final success that some inspirational words from fly-half Jonathan Sexton had been the catalyst for the province's incredible 33-22 come-from-behind win over Northampton Saints.
Leinster's man-of-the match Jonathan Sexton delivered a stirring half-time rallying call after the 33-22 win over Northampton in the Heineken Cup final.
The Irish side trailed 22-6 at the break but two Sexton tries inspired a remarkable comeback victory.
"We were shellshocked and we needed leaders at half-time," said Sexton.
"I said that comebacks happen in finals and used the example of Liverpool in the Champions League. I knew we could come back from the deficit."
