    Subject syas it all - he's eclipsing his more famous mate in the midfield. Today's effort was spectacular, the try was awesome.

    Come to think of it, after today's performance, O'driscoll is the new O'Driscoll too. Great performance despite being stamped in the head by the baldy lad...

    What is going on-Wexford is meant to produce hurlers, not footballers :) (cf Mattie Forde too). Next we'll have a yellowbelly on the Irish soccer team..

    I'm hoping that Darcy maintains this level of performance, and that EOS sticks with the O' Driscoll - Darcy partnership.

    With two elusive runners, it is far harder to mark either out of the game, as had been happening a fair bit in the recent matches to O'Driscoll.

    Plus Darcy does nearly as well at the breakdown as O'Driscoll.

    O'Driscoll's defence was unreal. The time the Scot thought he had got him to commit to the tackle but O'Driscoll covered the scottish overlap all by himself was one of the best things I've ever seen!

    totaly agree wit you there dave O'Driscoll's defence was fantastic, i noticed it more than D'Arcy's running.

    But then wat can you expect from non-rugby playing supporters. Band wagon jumpers seem to totaly oblivous to the work forwards do! Wit the exception of the lineout people seem to think they dont exist. Personnally im as delighted wit Easterby's proformances, he does a huge amount of donkey work at the rucks and was one of the main factors in the quality ball being made available to the backs.

    So wake up people and notice theres more to trys than just scoring them.

    Gleeson, Byrne, O'Kelly, O'Connell, Easterby have all been brilliant!
