[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 988796, member: 50079"] You have to understand that Ireland were utterly abject and terrible for the longest time and not coming dead last was considered a huge victory. In the 1990s we never finished outside the bottom two teams and lost a test series v Namibia in '91. Then when professionalism took over it took us a while to adapt. We didn't win anything between 85 and 04. We turned it around when the Celtic League was formed and our provinces were properly organised and professionalised in the early 2000s. [/QUOTE]
