Apart from the game work-load management aspect, the selection could be seen as a reward for Ross Byrne, who slots into Sexton’s place. Byrne was in excellent form for Leinster when Sexton was away for much of the early part of the competition due to the Rugby World Cup and other international duties. He is an accomplished flyhalf who has won matches for Leinster in the past.
While there was some criticism of the Munster game-plan in last week’s play-off game at the Aviva, what really caught Munster short was their wonky form in the lineouts. They lost five against the throw and were unable to make any impression when set up in the 22. With Henderson there, Ulster might just be able to get right what Munster got wrong.
