 D'Arcy went on the 2005 Lions tour of New Zealand
|
Ireland centre Gordon D'Arcy has been called up by the Lions because of injury concerns in their back division.
Keith Earls sustained a minor shoulder injury against the Royal XV last Saturday and another centre, Riki Flutey, suffered a thigh strain.
Head coach Ian McGeechan said: "While the injuries are being treated by the medical team we felt it prudent to provide extra cover in midfield."
Leinster's D'Arcy is a team-mate of Brian O'Driscoll for club and country.
McGeechan added: "Gordon's partnership with Brian O'Driscoll is a proven one and can only benefit the Lions' squad here in South Africa.

"Gordon showed in the European Cup final (when Leinster beat Leicester 19-16) and the recent Barbarians match against England (when they won 33-26) that he is back to his best.
"He was on our reserve list and we had no hesitation in calling him up to the squad as he is an extremely experienced player who has played 41 times for his country."
D'Arcy, 29, who went with the Lions to New Zealand in 2005 playing six provincial matches, will arrive in South Africa on 4 June and could be in contention for the third game of the tour against the Cheetahs on Saturday.
