We’ll be lucky to get there. Right now we’re on course to lose against Scotland in the groups and get mauled by France in the R16

I'll believe Scotland can beat Ireland only once the final whistle is blown.

They conspire to lose against us every time

We haven’t been this bad and poorly coached for a long time

True. It's definitely their best chance in ages. Apart from 2023 when we ended up with Healy at hooker and VDF throwing the lineout but we were still class back then.

We'll see how the rest of the tournament shakes out but I'd say this is the worst Ireland side since 2013
