Mood glum as D’Arcy set to miss Cardiff trip

GORDON D’ARCY is unlikely to play in the potential RBS Six Nations title decider against Wales, according to Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan.

D’Arcy was ruled out of the 26-19 defeat by France with the hamstring injury suffered in the championship opener against Italy.

“I do not think Gordon is going to make the Wales match the way things are going,” said O’Sullivan. “There has been uncertainty over his injury and it is not looking good.”
