D'Arcy expecting tough test from Ulster

Leinster centre Gordon D’Arcy is expecting a stern challenge when his side travel to Ravenhill for a RaboDirect PRO12 derby encounter with Ulster on Friday (7.05pm).

Boasting an 11 point lead at the top of the table, Leinster have already secured a home semi-final in the knockout stages of the PRO12 but with a Heineken Cup semi-final against Clermont Auvergne on the horizon Joe Schmidt’s men will be looking to build momentum in Belfast.
