D’Arcy ruled out of Munster showdown

Leinster centre Gordon D’Arcy has been ruled out of Saturday’s Magners League final meeting with Munster at Thomond Park after failing to recover from an ankle injury which he picked up in last weekend’s Heineken Cup final victory against Northampton.

D’Arcy struggled with the injury for most of the second half against the English outfit and was replaced by young utility back Fergus McFadden in the final 10 minutes of the game.
