Jonathan Sexton, the Ireland fly-half, is poised to join Racing Metro after the Irish Rugby Football Union confirmed he'd leave Leinster at the end of the season.
Sexton, who has won 34 caps and is favourite to be the Lions' Test fly-half during their summer tour to Australia, has signed a contract, described by Joe Schmidt, the Leinster coach, as "exceptional, even by French standards". It is thought to be worth £640,000 per year over two seasons.
