The report into Ireland's World Cup failure: key points

• All 30 recommendations have been accepted by the IRFU
• The recommendations are spread across areas including player selection, psychology, analysis, player development, culture, leadership and S&C with a lack of synchronization highlighted as a major flaw up to now
• Contrary to what had been agreed, the report was not published in full after discussion with the consultants FairPlay Ltd and the IRFU’s own legal counsel
• One result of this is that there are no personal testimonies and no names of any description used in the document containing the recommendations that was released for public consumption
• An additional one million euro is to be invested in the women’s game
• A new Head of Women’s Performance and Pathway role is to be filled
• One of this employee’s key considerations will be how to find the right balance between the sevens and XVs women’s game. “There is certainly a perception there that it needs clarity,” said IRFU CEO Kevin Potts
• The role of director of women’s rugby and sevens, filled by Anthony Eddy until he stepped down yesterday, has effectively been disbanded
• Potts insisted that Eddy’s exit was not linked to the report
• Gemma Crowley has already been appointed to another new role, that of Women’s XVs national team manager
• Potts has apologised formally to players’ representatives and players “who have felt let down or not respected”
• The union has been encouraged to explore hybrid or retainer contracts for top XVs players for the first time
• The review has been welcomed by the players’ representatives and by Sport Ireland
