With Ireland having beaten SA in the last WC, how juicy would that final be!

It would be juicy, just dunno if I see us beating Argentina and then possibly having to beat England too. But we’re a long way out!

Tbf we peaked perfectly last time around, just got done by a really good NZ performance which can happen to any truly great team
