For the first time, Ireland can win the World Cup
The latter half of 2016 proved to be one of the most productive, rewarding and promising in Irish rugby history, coming as it did after the disappointment of the 2015 World Cup and a mid-table finish to the 2016 Six Nations championship.
This Irish squad has turned a significant corner and 2017 is all about building on the incremental gains from the defeats of South Africa, New Zealand and Australia over a magical six-month period. Key events over the next 12 months are set to play a significant role towards achieving greatness in Japan in 2019. It’s imperative the Irish rugby snowball keeps on rolling in 2017.
