[QUOTE="dunney77, post: 769240, member: 59171"] Unfortunately, Ireland are now entering a real 'rebuilding' stage because this was the last RWC for the golden generation. So far it has been a trickle of players retiring each year (O'Driscoll, Darc etc) but now we have some more big stars leaving (POC) + many of the older crowd (Best, Sexton, Bowe) who sadly just won't be around at RWC 2019. Considering this, I simply don't think we can blood enough players and have them at international class in time. I wouldn't be surprised if Ireland have a bit of a stormy time in the next few years - but that would be acceptable if we create a new spine of a team. [/QUOTE]
