D’Arcy brace puts gloss on Lions’ win
It was a poor match, enlivened only by two late tries of superb quality from Leinster, who struggled for most of this Magners League encounter against gritty Connacht.
The game attracted close to 17,000 spectators, a good warm up before next week’s Heineken Cup clash with Leicester Tigers, but the home side will need to spend days perfecting their set pieces. The only time they really threatened Connacht, and that was seldom, was from broken play. The two all-important tries came from such counter offences.
