D’Arcy for Leinster and Ireland
Gordon D’Arcy has extended his current contract with Leinster and Ireland by a further 3 years.
“This is another important contract secured by the IRFU and Leinster Rugby and is part of the IRFU’s long stated policy of keeping our leading players in Ireland,” said Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) chief executive Philip Browne.
“Gordon is an integral part of both the Leinster and Ireland teams and we are delighted that he has followed both Brian O’Driscoll and Ronan O’Gara by agreeing a new contract to remain with his province.
“His decision is another endorsement of the structures in place that are designed to keep our leading players with their provinces and ensure that they are available for the Ireland team.”
