[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 768790, member: 45598"] And we're done!! There's a few individual post RWC threads that'll go into more detail but this'll be an overview to see where everyone's at without having to read about youth players you won't hear about for another two years. Here I go: Ireland; Reaction to RWC 2015: disappointing but not disastrous. I'd liken it somewhat to NZ 2007, we were one of the favourites entering the tournament but were caught by a side who had their best game of the RWC in the QF's, match this with our injuries (read Wayne Barnes for NZ) we had a disappointingly early exit. What to do in 2019: Semi Final, nothing will ever satisfy us at a World Cup until we get our semi final berth. What we need to do to achieve this: keep Joe Schmidt, develop a game plan that does not revolve around having the 2nd best halfbacks in world rugby firing on all cylinders, find a centre partnership that is effective in attack while as sound in defence as Henshaw and Payne. Goals to achieve before RWC 2019: 6 nations championship winners (x2), win in the SH, beat all of the rugby championship sides. RWC 2019 potential: champions, as long as there isn't a side as good as NZ were this year/yesterday. Feel free to add more/alter ***les and avoid dick swinging, this thread is for us to see where other fans think they're at and where they can go and nothing else. The most deluded fans (some of you will think that's me) are very welcome. [/QUOTE]
