Watch: Jonny Sexton Runs Directly Into The Post Before Touching Down Against Munster

In a tense opening half an hour to the Irish derby at the Aviva Stadium, only the boot of Johnny Holland had separated Munster and Leinster, with the southern province holding a 6-3 lead.

As half-time approached, the men in blue finally breached Munster's impressive rearguard, but hearts were surely in mouths as Jonny Sexton took yet another opportunity to prove himself a hard bastard before scoring the opening try of the game.

Either that or he just didn't see the post. The Ireland 10 must have thought he'd run into his international teammate CJ Stander on his way over.

At the time of writing, Leinster lead Munster by the half-time score of 10-6.
