Ireland, not Wales, are now the main Celtic power of rugby (if we didn't know that already)

[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1083382, member: 74121"] Even if Ireland only have an adequate 10 like Carberry in the future I think they'll comfortably stay in the top 4 in the world until such time as both NZ and England get a good coach (I think SA can hold down a top 4 spot with sub Rassie standard coaching, such is their depth and upcoming talent). I can't see Wales or Scotland being top 5 before 2027 (although Wales with a functioning Patchell or Anscombe could make real strides). So yes, I think are witnessing the dawn of an era where Ireland really gap all Celtic rivals now their domestic talent stream seems fully online (so less recruitment of players who arent good enough for other union's sides, which overall isn't a recipe for attaining top , RWC challenging standards).
