Two years out from the World Cup, and with the pool draw laid out in front of his team, Ireland captain Caelan Doris has backed Andy Farrell’s squad to realise its potential heading to Australia in 2027.

The skipper and his head coach were speaking to media at Aviva Stadium on Wednesday in reaction to the expanded 24-team, 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup draw, which took place earlier in the day in Sydney, with Ireland top seeds in Pool D alongside second seeds and familiar foes Scotland as well as Portugal and Uruguay.
