D’Arcy backs his case for Irish selection

GORDON D’ARCY will have caught Ireland coach Declan Kidney’s eye as defending champions Leinster kept the heat on Magners League table-toppers Munster.

D’Arcy is in line to replace fellow centre Paddy Wallace for the Six Nations clash against England on Saturday after the Ulster man sustained a nasty eye injury in the win over Italy.

D’Arcy impressed as his province who kept up their bid for back-to- back Magners League titles with a clinical victory at the Scarlets.
