How to save a young Irish rugby player’s career

The Counter Ruck

In a slightly different episode, Gordon D’Arcy has gone digging around his attic for career memories. A teammate feedback sheet from his aged 21 season prompts today’s discussion.


In these anonymous submissions, D’Arcy was given both praise and constructive yet strong criticism about his early days with Leinster. In his own words, it was the sheet which “changed everything.”


What was said by his peers, how did it affect his behaviour and how did he go on to achieve what he did?


Plus, a review of the opening five rounds of the URC as attention turns to the international stage.


Produced by John Casey and JJ Vernon.
