Muliaina amazing coup, says D’Arcy

Gordon D’Arcy has hailed Connacht’s capture of 33-year-old All Black legend Mils Muliaina.

D’Arcy compared Muliaina, whom he faced three times at Test level with Ireland, to Isa Nacewa, Brad Thorn and Rocky Elsom in terms of the influence he will potentially exert out west.

“It’s an unbelievable signing for Connacht,” he’s as close a player as you’ll get to Isa,” lavished D’Arcy. “He makes incredibly good decisions under pressure. That’s what a really, really good player is, someone who makes good decisions and makes the players around him look good.
