D’Arcy handed new chance to impress

Gordon D’Arcy has been given the chance to nail down a Lions Test place alongside his Ireland and Leinster team-mate Brian O’Driscoll in Saturday’s heavyweight showdown against the New Zealand Maori.

D’Arcy had a forgettable Lions debut against Argentina but he was introduced to play alongside O'Driscoll in the second half to guide the Lions out of a hole against Bay of Plenty.
