Dirty D'Arcy?

[rorybestsbigbaldnoggin]

49 minute mark on the match-clock, take a look . . . Rory is on his back on the floor, we get a penalty, and D'Arcy throws a cheap dig into Rory's stomach . . .

Symbolic of Leinster now, isn't it? All of the cynicism/gamesmanship, none of the Schmidt-esque class.

Same as connacht dirty no arms on Bowe after scoring try...no citing...

That the same Gordon D'Arcy who is an Irish legend and who on the way out of the ground tonight stopped with a bunch of handicapped kids and signed everything and posed for photos and said he'd be supporting Ulster in the playoffs?

H-bomb dropped...

I won't stand for this. D'Arcy is a fine man.

Handicapped kids? What a f**king hero

[breakdown]

I suppose O'Driscoll is a dirty player for swinging at Henry a while back?

Its all part of the game, id be very surprised if theres ever a game where cheap shots arent thrown that go un-noticed, get over it

[Snipe Watson]

Things happen in games like this. A tense affair and Rory is no angel. Let it slide.

[222toHounslow]

You're opinion is correct.

Actually, he was to them.

Merely pointing out that the game is over, in the heat of battle the odd cheap one happens, and that the same guy took defeat in his stride. Nothing worse than a bad loser - other than a bad winner. Just my opinion.

Some guys are forgetting how much these interpros mean to the players as well as the fans. They get a bit tetchy, but that's to be expected. D'Arcy has always been one of the good guys.

[solidarity]

Looked like just a wee friendly dunt to me. Maybe he's finding life difficult no longer being one of Ireland's premier beardies.

Heat of the moment and all that, having said that, not a fan of Dorce.

Please stop being a reasonable and decent old fecker. Yer ruining this worthless thread.

[Spiffsson]

I like Darse. He's getting on and a bit past it, so that we tend to forget how great a centre he was when he first burst on to the scene for Ireland and was tearing defences apart. A good illustration of the wisdom of retiring at your peak. I think BOD probably hung around a year too long as well.

Rory - did you start a similar thread when your namesake stuck his leg out in a very cynical way against framce the other week? Must have missed that one........

With our disciplinary record this season i'd hardly be pointing the fingers anywhere........

We were lucky when Leinster had a 4 on 2 over lap but the ball was with dorce - a man who has not passed since 2003

Rum. Tell us what dorce did wrong with the 4 on 2
