    Well D'Arcy has 47 caps, so probably about 40.

    edit: completely forgot about Leinster as well. It'd be harder to judge there without going through the specific games, which I have no intention of doing, but maybe 60 or so.

    Good question, no idea of the answer :D

    To be honest, I'd love to have seen BOD play with a more varied number of centre partners. It was a joy to watch him with Roberts during the Lions tour. Sexual at times, let's face it. The synergy between himself and Earls on Saturday was superb. When Contepomi was at inside centre, they had some magnificent moments with Leinster. As much as I rate Darce (albeit erratically), I can't help but feel that BOD could have been even better with a more dynamic, less one-dimensional centre partner. Or maybe I'm just being a bit unfair on Darcy?

    You're being unfair. If D'Arcy played in any other generation I think he would have been considered as one of the best OC we produced. But apart from that I think D'Arcy & BOD combine extremely well - the only thing they both miss is a decent kicking game.
