Despite winning the Grand Slam in 2009 and the Six Nations titles in 2014 and 2015, Ireland have always failed to deliver on the World Cup stage.

They have never reached the Semi-Finals, suffering humbling defeats to Wales and Argentina in the previous two tournaments.

With academies in Ireland going from strength to strength and some players in the form of their life, we ask - Could this squad win the 2019 Rugby World Cup?

Ireland should have won by at least another 14 pts. A lot of errors in.the first half...and Stockdale not passing for a certain try..unforgiveable.
