Maybe someone might do a link to the qf and semi final fixtures.

If everything goes by the seedings (and as Ireland found out against Japan last time it quite likely won`t) then the QF line up would be New Zealand v Ireland, South Africa v France, Wales v Japan and England v Australia. As far as I know Ireland have never played the Springboks in the World Cup before. Unless the Boys in Green can somehow get back their 2018 form then yet another QF exit looks to be the best they can hope for.

Delighted to see Paul O Connell signed as forwards coach for the Ireland team,
I think he will be a tremendous addition to the Irish coaching staff, one eye on 6 nations and another on the world cup
His main aim has to be to sort out a dodgy lineout

I think he will do well , for me the lineout was down to kelleher to be honest so if he doesn't sort his throwing out things need to be changed.

Warm up games start this weekend,
Ireland v Italy on Saturday evening.
England v Wales, Gatland very upbeat about Wales prospects.
Much changed Ireland team selected by Farrell, big chance for some players to get to France.
Hope it’s ok to start a new thread.
