Gordon D’Arcy: RWC 2023 will be ‘win-win’ for Irish sport

Now pursuing a career outside of rugby as an investment and wealth manager with Investec, D’Arcy yesterday pledged to put his weight behind Ireland’s bid. The 84-times capped icon hailed the cross-border agreement, on top of the excellent relationship between the rugby authorities and the GAA, to bring the tournament to Ireland.
“The availability of the number of grounds required to launch a serious bid for the World Cup is of huge importance. We have to look at sport nowadays from the holistic side of things and the bigger picture and it’s about participation.
