Gordon D'Arcy on Leinster, Leo Cullen & Ireland's Summer

Leinster, British & Irish Lions and Ireland veteran Gordon D’Arcy joins GBRXtra to discuss Leinster’s triumph in the URC and the form of Irish rugby ahead of the Nations Championship.

Gordon gives his disappointed verdict on the departure of Leo Cullen, praise for Andy Farrell’s extension as Ireland’s Head Coach and his analysis of the Irish pathway system.

Speaking of future rugby stars, the lads have a read of Gordon’s latest book, Let’s Play Rugby, the fifth in his series for children. Gordon’s new picture book encourages children to play out every step of a professional a rugby game from kicking off to dizzying celebrations, encouraging a new generation of Henry Pollocks to take to the field.

Let's Play Rugby is available on Amazon: amazon.co.uk/Lets-Play-Rugby-Gordon-DArcy/dp/1…
