Ireland will turn this corner, vows D’Arcy

Defeat to England hit Gordon D’Arcy hard on Saturday night but the veteran centre urged his team-mates not to dwell too long on the “what ifs” of their 13-10 Twickenham loss.

While it was his midfield partner Brian O’Driscoll’s final outing at the home of English rugby at the weekend, having turned 34 a fortnight ago, D’Arcy is also keeping an eye on the clock and wondering how many more opportunities he will get to notch another Twickenham victory.

“Personally this is going to hurt me quite a bit. How many more times am I going to get a chance in here?” D’Arcy said.
