good news for ireland.

Pshan

Good to see him back, he was missed by Leinster and Ireland.

Jello

Yeah good to see him back, hopefully he'll return as good as he once was.

Gelio

Fantastic news.

bamboozle

great news, he's had a tough 9 months, lets hope he's given a few months to get back up to his old form....just in time for the HC final....

General yayness.

[Jackass]

If he doesn't score a hat trick of tries this weekend (and most subsequent weekends) he's surely lost it.

Brilliant news though! Delighted to see him back and if I'm being honest, I never thought I would. Hope he gets back to fitness and his superb form of before.

This is great news for the man himself,Leinster and Ireland.I hope he can return to his best over the next few months.

Great to see him back

johnnyc

as a munsterman its great to see him recover from his arm injury and cant wait to see him back to his best not against munster thou

Crash

Its alright, I thought we've already have proven in the injury thread he wouldnt make the munster seconds Anyhow, glad to see him back, sorely needed and hope he settles back in well.

Zzippy

Great news. Fair play to him for battling his way back to fitness. Hope he gets back to his best form, would be great to see him in a green jersey again.

madds

Very welcome news. Hopefully he'll be as strong as he was when in possession before he got injured. Will be interesting to see how a combo of Darcy at 12 and Fitz at 13 works for Leinster over the coming weeks if they get a chance.

Well he's being started on the right wing against Ulster which makes sense as he wont see as much traffic coming at him as he would in the centre, whether he has the ability to play effectively there though is another question. Good luck to him great to see him back.

Also its a big test for Fitzgerald as he finally plays 13 with a decent 12 up against the most in form Irish Centre's available, really id be looking at this to see whether he should go into the 6N as a centre or a wing.

Darcy playing on the wing? Interesting one, wonder why himself and Luke didn't switch!

As has been stated I reckon they don't want to bring him into the thick of it right away.

Interesting I thought CJ was fit?

No MOK either...

Great to see Healy and O'Brien getting a run anyway.
